Warsaw - A Polish doctor says she has been in
"deep shock" since learning that a 91-year-old
woman she pronounced dead woke up in a morgue.
The doctor - identified in media as Wieslawa C. -
said on TVN24 television on Friday that she was
sure the patient was dead after finding "no basic life
functions" during a house call on 6 November.
Prosecutors are investigating whether the patient's
life and health were endangered by the inaccurate
death diagnosis.
Identified by the media as Janina Kolkiewicz, the
elderly woman was examined in the eastern town of
Ostrow Lubelski after relatives noticed she was not
breathing. She was pronounced dead and sent to
the morgue.
Hours later an undertaker noticed she was moving.
An official says Kolkiewicz is now in good health.
