On Friday, her daughter Anastasia called and asked the doctors how her mother was feeling. To her horror, she was answered on the phone that her mother had died. Anastasia began preparations for the funeral, and on Monday went to the hospital for her mother's body. But she was told that she still needed to do an autopsy, and asked to wait. And after a while, a frightened doctor approached Anastasia and informed her that her mother "did not die, is breathing and is now lying in her bed alive."
Lyudmila could not remember anything. She only knew that on Friday she was in the hospital, and on Monday she woke up in the morgue, where it was very cold.

Brighton Dame Zante from Zimbabwe "died" at 34. His body was wrapped in a blanket and sent to the morgue to prepare for the funeral. The next day, grieving friends and relatives came there to say goodbye to the "deceased".
When friends and relatives gathered at Zante's coffin, a wonderful and at the same time terrible thing happened — Zante's legs began to twitch. His boss Lot Gaka noticed it first, and then the others. Everyone was so horrified that they rushed to run, thinking that an evil spirit had possessed the deceased Zante and now the dead man would pounce on them.

Like Lyudmila Steblitskaya, Zante could not remember anything and only knew that he was connected to a life support machine. He was very grateful to fate for "another chance at life."
Last year, a car mechanic from the US state of Ohio, Tony Yahle, came back to life after doctors pronounced him dead. He fell into a state of clinical death, and his heart stopped beating for 45 minutes.

It was a coincidence or a miracle, but Yahle "answered" his son: he began to show signs of life. The doctors who pronounced him dead were very surprised and immediately tried to revive him.
Cardiologist Raja Nazir could not explain what happened: "In all 20 years of my practice, I have never seen us declare death and a person come back to life. Never." Yahle is a parishioner of the Church of Christ in Bellbrook, so he believes in the miraculous nature of resurrection.

A resident of the Chinese village of Beilu shocked all the neighbors when she rose from the dead after lying in a coffin for six days. The neighbor tried to bring Sufen to her senses, but could not and decided that she had died.
Xiufen's body was placed in an open coffin and left at her house so that relatives and friends could say goodbye to her. But the day before the funeral, the neighbors almost died of horror themselves, because they saw an empty coffin. They began to look for the dead Sufen and found her in the kitchen — an old woman was cooking. She answered the neighbors ' questions: "I slept for so long, but I woke up very hungry and decided to cook myself a meal. I had to push this heavy lid for a long time to get out."
At that time, Li Xiufen was 95 years old.
Taslima Rafiq was 52 years old when she got a second chance at life. The mother of four children was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, UK after a heart attack. Doctors tried to start her heart for 45 minutes, but could not, and the woman was pronounced dead.
Taslima's death was reported to her relatives, and they came to say goodbye to her. Doctors warned them that the body could make involuntary movements due to the adrenaline injected into it. And that's right: Taslima's body twitched for two whole hours. This gave the relatives hope that she was still alive, and they asked the doctors to examine the body again. The doctor found a weak pulse, but told the family that Taslima was "clinging to life," and her brain had suffered too much due to lack of oxygen, and she would not be able to survive.
But the family continued to pray for a miracle. Taslima's daughter Shabana told her, "Mom, if I did something that made you upset, tell me." And to her surprise Taslima replied: "What could you have done to make me upset?"
The very next morning Taslima felt well and chatted and joked with her family as if nothing had happened.
