Ecuador's health ministry has confirmed the passing of Bella Montoya, a 76-year-old woman who had a remarkable incident where she was mistakenly declared dead and startled her family by knocking on her coffin during her own funeral.
After her unexpected awakening during the burial, Bella Montoya spent at least seven days receiving intensive care. Unfortunately, she passed away one day ago, as reported by Ecuador's health ministry.
In a peculiar turn of events, Mrs. Montoya, a former nurse, was erroneously pronounced dead by her doctors, only to awaken hours later during her own funeral in the city of Babahoyo, Ecuador.
