- An Ecuadorian woman who was declared dead astonished her relatives when she began banging on her coffin in the middle of her wake. 76-year-old Bella Montoya Tapia was declared dead after a "presumptive cerebrovascular accident” last week, the health ministry said, but was taken back to hospital after showing signs of life from inside her coffin.

Now think about those who weren't rescued in time and were buried alive. There must be a few, right? 😱
They used to tie a bell to their toes, and the graveyard attendant would listen for it. Hence the phrase: saved by the bell
@@smrk2452 thanks. I learned something new😊
Wow jus learn something
Ironically was just reading up in this because I was reading of a cemetery worker around 1900 who was digging a grave for a Mr.Alberts,and he was not embalmed ,and the cemetery worked heard a clicking sound coming from inside the casket that was next to where he was working,and he freaked out like most would do and ran to the neighboring house and the neighbor and him ran back to the grave site and when they got the lid open,Mr.Alberts was on his stomach but had suffocated.This happened in the town of Eastmanviile,Michigan.I also read that there were caskets made called "Safe caskets" where tubing was brought from inside the casket up to the surface and there was a rope in the casket going up the tubes with a bell and people were assigned to stay at the gravesite for a number of hours,in case someone in the casket was alive they could ring the bell! And there were some who did not make it because no one was there to hear the bell,and that is where the old saying,"Dead Ringer" came from.There is a cemetery in Hillsborough county Florida that supposedly still have the tubes by graves according to a guy who lives by Tampa said on FB?
@@smrk2452that's where we get the saying "Saved by the Bell" comes from
Can you imagine waking up to find yourself in a closed coffin ??? I am claustrophobic and I would probably have a heart attack. I am happy that she survived this ordeal. God Bless you grand mother.
Ray Milland…”The premature burial “ 1960’s classic…. ‘magine that with yourself in that coffin….ooh, not so comfy! ⚔️🙏🏽⚔️
Just look at her. She ain’t got much longer anyways.
@@alfredoreliford8501 I'm not sure if I saw that movie. Ray Milland sounds familiar.
@@MayorMcheese12 I know, but I wouldn't want to be in her shoes at that moment. Terrifying!
At one time, they used to make coffins with a window above the deceased's head, just in case they came back to life before they were buried.
Not so long ago people were buried with a cord in their hands, attached to a bell on the surface. In case they were buried alive and wake up they could ring the bell and be saved. Hence the expression: "Saved by the bell."
Wow 😯😯😯 that's where that came from omg
@Google Account 😂
@@GoogleAccount-ci6ne😂😂😂
I’ve learned something new
Dead ringer
This is actually why wakes exist... for this very reason. Hundreds of years ago, it was common for people to be found alive after believed to be dead since they suffered from so many unknown illnesses. Wakes started in 6th Century Ireland to make sure that people were actually dead. Now it's morphed into a way for loved ones to say goodbye, but every now and then, this happens. A real miracle each and every time.
Yes, true. Open casket wakes that last up to a week still happen today in other countries. It's so all members of the family and friends can come to say their goodbyes and pay respects, and also donate money, help & resources to the grieving family to cover the costs and necessities of the funeral services.
A "wake," makes sense now. Thx.
You know this is very interesting coming from theJewish perspective because we have the funeral and bury our dead as soon as possible.
Looks to me like the family tried to collect they insurance money to early. Like they knew she wasnt dead, and maybe gave her meds to appear dead.
@@EternalResonance do they have life insurance in Ecuador?
A very similar thing happened to an older friend of mine after a car accident in 1965.
He was declared dead at the scene, dead on arrival at the hospital and then was placed in a body bag. He lay inside that bag for hours until a relative came to identify the body.
When they mistakenly unzipped the wrong bag and asked the relative if that was his cousin, he replied, "No. But that other bag over there just moved!"
They unzipped the bag and inside was my friend, still alive!!!
58 years later, he's still with us.
The odds of that doctor walking in and showing the relative the wrong body bag, at the exact same moment that my friend's body bag moved
are unfathomable!
It wasn't his time back in '65.
By the way, he's one of the nicest guys that you will ever meet.
God bless him. 🙏
And your friend, turned out to be....

❤😜❤
Prettay, prettay, pretty good story.
@Kool Hand Juke Did ask him what he'd seen during his NDE (Near Death Experience)?
I wonder if he had a NDE.
Wow! I don't believe in coincidences!
God, what a close one.
There is just no telling how many people have been accidentally buried alive in this way.
Pobrecita la senora😔😔😔 que horror por parte de los medicos que la declararon muerta.
Dios quiera se pueda recuperar🙏
So literally it was a "wake".
She has agonal breathing, she is actively dying but not died yet.
Everyone thinks they're a doctor 😂
@Bitchslapper316 It is true. I saw my grandmother breathe like that right before she died
probably because they left her in a holding spot for a week with no water or food. She probably has severe brain damage and is highly unlikely to recover.
Oh my gosh! such a shocking miracle this is! I swear if I WAS HER her daughter and child, you do not know how happy I would be to see my mother alive. I would not stop hugging and loving her...But afterwards I do have questions as to how this mistake had happened.
First it's a miracle, then it's a mistake. Make up your mind. I'll be going with mistake.
@@suqmadiq68 You coming at her hot for no reason just chill out 😂 maybe it’s a miracle she came to before she was put in the dirt and a mistake she was declared dead in the first place.
@@56Ace. : Get back to me when you've got something more than a made up "maybe".
@@suqmadiq68 ??? um...its a miracle she is still alive....questioning how a mistake like this is made on behave of the person who declared her dead is just a common sense response...So I am slightly confused as to your point here.
@@suqmadiq68 And I'm sorry but.... Did someone make you mad today? 🤣 the other comment is right, you sure are coming out hot for little to no reason, but hey I'm here for it!
That’s the purpose of a “wake,” to see if the person wakes up
If the coffin is a knocking, someone is awaken ! I hope she makes a full recovery and lives a long life 🙏
That agonal breathing doesn't look too good. Any updates on her?
Omg that is mynworst nightmare. Somehow an investigation does not seem sufficient
I hope that going without treatment for so long does not prevent her from recovering and living a full life because she definitely deserves it along with a lot of money from that hospital!
A full life? She is 76.
don't worry, if you live in a developed country, you will not wake up at your own funeral because the embalmer will have taken out all your insides. yay!
@@barcelonachair6487 both of my grandma's lived to their early 90s.
Bury me with a sharp knife,
so I can at least open up a vein!
@@sarahs7253 in india?
Yea take her back to the same hospital. Nothing could go wrong
😂
Probably the only hospital in 100 miles
It is sad to think that she will likely die soon, anyway. She looked to be in very poor condition. I hope I was wrong for the family's sake.
According to the news articles that have a bit more detail she went in for a cardiac issue on Friday and was pronounced dead. It said she is currently in the ICU in unstable condition.
At least a week with absolutely ZERO care! No food, water, medical help. She definitely won’t make it too long with how old she is but amazing she’s alive rn
@@isuapig6705
A week?
Not really.
Yes, she looks very rough. I'm sad these were her last experiences. A clean death would have been better.
She did not look alive. She was breathing. But it looked like an automatic response but her brain was dead. I’ve seen that. My own mother was like that for two days before she finally stopped breathing. They don’t say if she ever revived from that but I’m guessing she did not. Her brain was dead. I’ve also seen animals do that. Breathe like that just before they die. It’s like a computer that gets caught in a feedback loop. The primal part of the brain is the last to die. The part that keeps the heart beating and lungs going. That lady was dead by the end of the day I guarantee it. That is exactly what my mother was doing before she died. Exactly. She would open her mouth and take a gasp, but she wasn’t there. Just gone. You could sense she just wasn’t there anymore. No soul. Then at the very end she stopped taking breaths. Her diaphragm stopped but her mouth kept opening and closing like a dying fish. Until finally it stopped. Witnessing that is extremely traumatic! Let me tell you!!
Didn’t they say she was knocking on the casket so they opened it to find her alive still???
She had enough brain power to bang on the casket to get them to open it. Yes it is the last part of the brain to go but she looks better than agonal breathing .
I'm not having MY blood removed either. When we're embalmed, we need a miracle of resuscitation! HALLELUJAH! 🙏🏼🙌🏼✝️❤️
"For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37! GLORY!
My mother and grandmother the samething happened and I lost my mother young and I was telling them that she cannot breathe and before she threw up a bunch of black stuff and I told the woman she cannot breathe. Yes it was horrible and traumatizing. Sometimes I think instant deatths are better like in car accidents than seeing someone suffering in agonizing pain for two years from cancer.
I seriously doubt she was banging on the coffin! She was barely hanging on and breathing her last breaths. This type of breathing is called Cheyne stokes breathing that a dying person goes into before they die .
God bless this woman 🙏🏻✝️🙌🏻🕊️
@Emmanuel Tube
God richly bless you too-!!
🤍🕊🤍
God let her almost get buried alive and go without food or water for days.
You religious people are too much. This is pure incompetence, but you see it as some godly divine intervention. This is the reason why society, deeply influenced by religion, remains unequal because people wait for God to fix such problems.
That should definitely help things
He already did.
This is unfortunately agonal breathing, which is the body's last defense for life. Very very VERY few people survive after agonal breathing begins. Oxygen is extremely important and crucial in those 5 minutes.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. When they showed her, she's clearly in a state of agonal breathing.
This is the exact reason why bells were provided to the dearly departed in their coffin in case something like this happens.
As shocking and ...awesome(?) as this is, for the family to have their loved one return, I am sitting here in tears praying that my husband was truly dead when he was interred. This is definitely a 'triggering' story. God bless that woman and her family.
Your husband's Earthly body may be dead, but he is alive in Christ.
Nah he was screaming while burried. Happy now?
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Please, don't worry. This is an extremely rare occurrence. They probably took this poor woman straight from the morgue to the wake.
@@goddammitboi There is something seriously wrong with you.
Was your husband embalmed? I am surprised that this woman was not. Sorry for your loss.
Ecuador is well known for its State of the Art medical care.
Almost sure she didnt wake up again. I know that kind of breathing. Its usaly the last breaths. But what a rollarcoaster of emotions for the family.
NBC, please give us an update on this story!! Did this woman survive? What is her situation now? This is a very significant story and it would be very worthwhile to put some attention on it and follow up. Thanks much!
CNN reported she is in the ICU but didn't get further details.
They usually don’t live long after things like this happen.
Her breathing pattern is that of a person in their dying minutes. Dying isn't like in movies or tv. When a loved one passes in front of you, you never forget that breathing 😢
@@morsecode4036looked like what they call “Agonal” breathing to me. Poor lady and her family!😢
@@cillag09 yes! I forgot the term and couldn't stomach doing a search.
Oh, oh. Thank goodness for her. Our worst nightmare almost happened.
My mom passed from stomach cancer and it was horrible 😢 She took breaths like that too and then she said “Te veo en el paraíso”, to my dad 😭- I’ll see you in paradise. Then her mouth got crooked and blood came out. She was gone. She was so sweet and beautiful- to see her die like that just 💔 😢😢
So sorry for your loss. Condolences to you, and your family. R.I.P to your beloved mother. 😔 I lost my mother in a very similar way. It's very heartbreaking.
We can't all go in our sleep, unfortunately
Wow, hope I never find myself in need of medical care at the hospital this woman was declared dead at. Unbelievable! Heartbreaking for the woman and the family to have endured such an ordeal! Shocking story!
Whoever declared her deceased needs to be removed ASAP from ANY patient’s care. And the lady needs to sue that individual and the institution!
I agree. I'm no doctor, but isn't living person or dead person like, medicine 101?
@@eringallagher9381 not necessarily. People's bodies can shut down ina a way that appears like death. they stop breathing and their pulse goes to almost zero .I can only assume she is one of those weird cases, where they coudn't feel a pulse or see her breathing and she didn't respond to stimuli, so called it. and then didn't check back. They obviously didn't do an autopsy, thank goodness for her. It's called catalepsy, and it is probably what happened that we know the fable of Lazarus waking from the dead.
You have to realize that your entire body doesn't die all at once. if your heart stops, that doesn't necessarily mean that your heart cell are dead, just that they cannot agree on the signal to all contract at the same time and thus, there is no pump. The cells in your body can all keep functioning so long as there is oxygen and glucose. they can slow down, without dying, and then if the cells get back on track, they can "bring you back" to normal function breathign and beating,
Hypothermia, and drowning are another set of circumstances where a person can appear dead until the body is brought back to functioning temperature and the body can recover from the torpor and shock.
In countries where medicine is not a strict, I'm sure plenty of people have looked dead and been passed along as such. Since they are focused on dealign with helping injured stay alive, it seems it would be easy to overlook what looks like a corpse. They aren't going in to see if rigormortis is happening and other stuff, especially if they see no need to go and see why the person "died" because they are sure why they "died".
@@Metqa I think that knowing everything you just said is kinda what makes it negligent. If it was a completely unknown thing, it would be more understandable.
@@MetqaNO I STOPPED READING YOUR COMMENT AFTER A COUPLE
SENTENCES !!! Make this make sense !!! She was in the coffin finished about to be buried that was a funeral whaaaaaaattttt !!! No way this was a mistake common mistake naaaa THAT HOSPITAL SHOULD BE BURNED !!!! If this happened in the hospital on a hospital bed that would be a different story !! She was in a casket !! At her wake !! NOOO WAYYYY!!!!
@@jgoods4510Yall get so emotional that it clouds logical thinking and it's funny reading comments like yours where you take it to the extreme
So sad. Hope this woman recovers. It’s insane
Se ve que la señora está en una situación delicada de salud pero qué bueno que a pesar de eso pudo hacerse notar.
My neighbor was officially declared dead and taken to the morgue. He was the morgue for a full day when he woke up. He lived for another year.
OMG that poor woman! That's HORRIFYING and that hospital is in massive trouble and I can't imagine how many people are now questioning whether or not, their own loved ones, being possibly buried alive......
God bless her and her family. 🙏 4 ✌️ AlWaYs
What, they didn't do an autopsy on this woman when she was declared dead? No embalming fluid or anything huh? This seems strange to me.
Not every culture does that.
It looks like she went straight from hospital to funeral parlour. She still had the hospital bracelet on and her nightgown. She looks like she wasn't prepared yet.
This is Latin America my dear, they put us in a casquet for a few hours and then bury us
The embalming is WAAAAY more strange. (Do Americans think they're Pharaohs?)
At the age she has, they usually don't do an autopsy when she is suspected of dying from natural causes like a heart attack.
But how terrifying to wake up in a coffin! 😱
I've often wondered how many people have been buried alive through the centuries. Bless her heart...❤...I've also wondered over the years how many people believe false narratives about who their biological parents/children are. With advancing gene technology, a lot of progress has been made in this regard. Cheers, all...☀
They used to have beds in the coffin
Usually they’ll empty out the body organs and blood cleaned out and pumped full of embalming fluid, so I’ll guess not many survive that.
@@apapz3245 that’s not the point, imagine being alive for that process. If somehow you were unable to move or speak, but you could still feel everything. This world is beyond cruel.
@@PARCE93 so my point is that if a burial is done properly this would never happen, and you say “that’s not the point” bro what?
@@apapz3245 Why are people so slow? The point is having to suffer in the process of being buried, whether you’re being dissected alive or actually make it to the coffin alive & have to suffocate.
Not too many people can claim they've had two funerals.
true
She can't either xd
she can't either. it was her wake.
Just let her hang out for a bit. Looks like they'll have to put her right back in an hour or so.
sounds like Ecuador needs better doctors if they cannot even tell if someone is dead or not.
The only reason you dont see this in the US is because they embalm and cremate
@Sunny bob Quackers most of the time we do autopsy's or morgue prep, if the subject is still bleeding they are alive. also the observation period. but I cannot say for other countries.
@Sunny bob Quackers did I ever say the entire country, now you are just inserting stuff into someone else's mouth.
I heard that many times before, like one where the “dead” was in a coma but the doctors didn’t check and the saw her own funeral and it gave her a heart attack..
How does this even happen!?!? So far, 2023 has been a crazy year!
"I'm not dead yet. I'm feeling better"
Be quiet now you dieds
😢🙏🏽🤝🏽....I hope that young lady pull thru & live for another 100Years
................ LuL
Bless her soul!😢 God is good all the time!❤
This is sooo disturbing. Bless her heart.
Good for her! Hope they can nurse her back to health. Side note, I'd be traumatized for a while, if I were her waking up in a coffin and also I had been at that funeral witnessing this
They need real doctors in that country.
This is how horror movies begin.
WOW!!!!....This is disturbing ...Should of NEVER happend....God Bless Her...❤
She was like, "APRIL FOOLS!!!"
This happened to my friends dad we where all surprised hearing that he’s alive..and rushed to the hospital … I’m going to show him this video
God can do what he wants to do!! Jesus shouted Lazarus name and he got up after being dead for 4 days!! Death can’t keep God chosen! Jesus has the power !!! He overcame death!! So will it be for allll who believe in him!! Repent and give your life to Jesus today!!! The kingdom of heaven is at hand! Chose this day whom you will serve!!! Don’t be lukewarm!!
HALLELUJAH!!! Jesus is Lord!
Lucifer questioned God and got his own entire place with central heating and every good rock n roll artist
Most people are talking about the ones that might have been buried alive without anyone knowing but how about the ones that got embalmed while still alive and never would’ve gotten a chance to wake up in time, that’s a bone chilling thought
God said not yet
Huh? Bloomberg said Ecuador has excellent healthcare at a fraction of US prices.
Think I'll pass.
That's exactly what wakes are for. It's Good that we still do them but funny that we forgot why!
Thank good this woman didn’t go through the embalming process. My god.
Something similar happened in NY a few months ago. The woman was at the funeral home and got up.
Thank God she was not buried alive.
Hay Dios mio
Jesus Christ loves you so much-! Have a beautiful blessed day-!!
✨️🤍✨️
I remember reading that there was a time when the dead were buried with a string in their hands attached to a bell above ground. Every now and then, the grave workers would hear a bell ringing and they'd dig up someone who wasn't dead
Jesus Christ, poor lady.
Your response is making me have other thoughts about dieing and coming back to life.........................
That has to be so traumatizing for everyone.
This is why I'm not an organ donor, stuff like this does happen and people do wake up from being comatose. Hospitals quickly move on from trying to save someone to just trying to harvest their organs when they have already agreed to be a donor.
Pray that you don't need an organ transplant one day
woooow good thing they had a wake 😮
This happened to a little girl years back. Blessing to all involved, I know it was very emotional on all fronts. Reminds me of scripture.
I remember the story. The girl was at the funeral home waiting to be embalmed when she woke up. I wonder how that girl is doing now??
@@queentinadoire6931 She died.
@@TallDiana Oh my God. Are you serious? This is so sad. I was rooting for her to live a meaningful life.
This happened in NY a few months ago as well out on long island. The woman was in a coffin at the funeral home and got up. You can google the news articles, it was covered by all the local news.
So this does occasionally happen.
How horrifying!
Well it was a good thing they didn't cremate her😅
It's a blessing they were able to get her back to the hospital 🙏 but im so confused is the body embalmed before or after the wake
Now this is woke 💕
1:00 _DON’T GO TO THE SAME HOSPITAL!_
A lot of miracles have been happening this year.
Why would this be a miracle? She will unfortunately die within the week. Just putting the family through another wake for her in the near future. They had most likely all came to terms with her death and now they get to watch her suffer all over again.
@@alwayslearning1895 I would hate have been your parents. Sheesh a little morbid don'tcha think.
This is more negligent medical care than a miracle. That lady is just going back to the hospital to ACTUALLY die, she looked awful.
using "miracle" loosely, to say the least.
@@bryanmannoia8410 maybe you try looking at other unexplainable stuff happening around the world, the crazy part? I'm nowhere near religious. Good luck.
Can't imagine how many people have been buried alive 😢
Now that's what I call a wake. 😂
Signs, miracles, and wonders. Praise the LORD GOD‼️
Pretty scary living in a third world continents where a simple medical device such as a stethoscope would detect a heartbeat. This is when I am grateful for living in the US, most of the time.
They do check and sometimes they don't hear a heartbeat even when a person is alive.
You think they didn't have a stethoscope? 😂😂
@@sir.fuentes7642 Even if they did, they are still morons

Repent and believe in Jesus Christ. There is no other name under the stars by which we must be saved but the name of Jesus Christ
It's not too late to accept Almighty Atheismo as your savior.
Reject christian ignorance.
Reject christian hatred.
Hallelujah!!!
Aren’t there ways for doctors to tell if a persons is indeed dead before a funeral? Like how is this even possible? If doctors actually performed brain scans for activity etc this should not have happened
No one found it strange that she wasnt stiff or cold?
Poor lady. She's going through it.
Bless her and and bless everyone
That poor woman 😔
Wow that’s amazing praise God !
Many will die so one can live? What kind of God is that?
Grateful
Don't go to a doctor in Ecuador. They can't even tell if you're alive there.
I guess no embalming in this country.
So she just skipped the embalming process and sat for a week in a funeral home? You begin decomposing hours after you die.
This is not the first time something like this has happened... it's happening alot these days!!
Why does this only ever happen in these foreign countries
It looks agonal breathing. 😢 . Only God knows how much longer she can live.
Not every culture will do an autopsy, nor embalming.
How shocking and embarrassing?
I'm just real glad that she was not buried alive. Thank God.
Whoever declared her dead should be held responsible...
Makes me wonder about others that were alive then buried. 😮
And just like that, Ecuador is off my vacation list.
I call BS! You can CLEARLY see her mouth moving as she breaths, from the very beginning of the clip!
Oh my God! How many people were buried alive there?
Good to see Ecuador will qualify anyone to be a doctor.
😢 can't imagine being buried a live, poor woman 😢
