An Indian man who was medically certified dead after his car crashed
reportedly work up a few minutes before pathologists carried out an autopsy on
his remains.
According
to reports, the post-mortem examination on Himanshu Bharadwaj, was just about
to start, when his examiners detected a pulse.
Bharadwaj had
sustained serious injuries, following the car accident. A worsened condition
saw the doctors first pronouncing him ‘brain-dead, and later medically
dead.
His corpse
was moved to the mortuary, where it was to stay overnight until the autopsy in
the morning, reports Daily Bhaskar.
Dr C
Gedam of the Chhindwara District Hospital said the man continues to be brain
dead and still needs treatment, telling News 18:
The
man was declared brain dead and upon his arrival at Chhindwara hospital his
respiration was dysfunctional and the pulse was also missing. However, his
respiratory organs began responding this morning.
At
times, in brain-dead patients, the heart and the respiratory system stop
functioning transiently, which seems to be the case here. Himanshu is still
brain dead. Thus, we have referred him to Nagpur due to lack of sufficient
facilities locally.
The
publication reports that large crowds are gathered outside in protest, accusing
the hospital of negligence.
Meanwhile,
Bharadwaj's family are thanking a "miracle".
