MISSISSIPPI-
After what one can only hope were extensive checks, a coroner in Mississippi says a man who woke up in a body bag two weeks ago is now definitely dead.
Walter Williams, a 78-year-old farmer, died peacefully at home and his nephew says he jokingly told the coroner “to be sure this time” reported a TV channel.
Relatives describe the extra time Williams had with his large family after a mortician spotted his moving as a gift from God.
He leaves 11 children, 15 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
“We’re at peace, we know he has fought a good fight, ” his daughter says. ” His sister was able to make it into town, and he got to see his last grandchild, and all of his grandkids. That was a blessing.”
But while family members are happy to call Williams’ revival a blessing, doctors are looking for a medical explanation.
Hospital officials believe very low blood sugar combined with medication may have made it very difficult to find a pulse the first time he was pronounced dead.
