Walterio Goncalves went to the Menandro de Farias General Hospital morgue in Salvador city, Brazil to identify the body of his brother, Valdelucio Goncalves. They partially open the body to let Walterio see the face of his brother. He was shocked when he noticed that the dead body seems to be breathing.
Dead Body Rising
UPI posted a G1 interview of Walterio's description of the amazing event. He said that when he came close to identify his supposed dead brother; he immediately saw that the body was clearly showing signs of life. He said, "I went crazy and shouted for the medical team. They checked him and confirmed that he was still alive." Medical personnel then removed the bindings from the very much alive body along with the stuffed cotton in the nose and ears of Valdelucio.
Medical personnel may have failed to notice for signs of life since the "dead" body's arms and legs were tied up. Valdelucio was already zipped up in a body bag once he was declared as deceased.
According to reports, the 54-year old man suffered twin heart attacks that caused a number of his organs to fail, which reportedly the cause of his death.
Divine Intervention
Valdelucio is grateful to the Blessed Irma Dulce, a Franciscan Sister who is a revered saint in Brazil. Sister Irma is credited for granting a number of miracles in this country.
Valdelucio wrote how his faith brought him back to the dead. He also said that he spoke with the saint and her mother, who told him to pray to the Blessed Irma. Valdelucio is unable to speak as of this time.
Isolated Accident
Meanwhile, government health and hospital officials who investigated the matter seem to have considered the case closed, since they are now considering it as an unfortunate accident.
