A prisoner in Spain escaped from being cut open after he reportedly began snoring from inside a body bag… despite the fact that he had been certified dead by three doctors.
Gonzalo Montoya Jimenez, an inmate at a jail in the Asturia region, woke up just before his post-mortem examination after guards thought he had died in his cell this morning.
The death certificate had been signed off by three experienced doctors who then sent his body down to the mortuary.
His family told local newspaper, “La Voz de Asturias,” that his body had been marked and was “ready to be opened up” when noises were heard from inside the body bag.
Hospital sources said the prisoner may have a condition called catalepsy, where a person’s vital signs slow down so much they are barely perceptible.
Twenty-nine-year-old Montoya is now in intensive care at a hospital in the regional capital Oviedo.
