Walter Williams, 87, of Lexington, Mississippi was pronounced dead on Wednesday night. The coroner came to his home, did the paperwork, put him in a body bag, and transferred him to a funeral home. But then…
"We got him into the embalming room and we noticed his legs beginning to move, like kicking," (coroner Dexter) Howard said. "He also began to do a little breathing."
One possibility is that Williams's defibrillator fired up his heart after it had stopped. In any case, Williams is currently awake and talking in his hospital bed.
