When a nurse and doctor in Brazil found Rosa Celestrino de Assis, a woman who was in the hospital for pneumonia, without vital signs, they pronounced her dead and sent her body to the morgue.But she wasnt dead, said her daughter Rosangela Celestrino, after she went to visit her mother for what she thought was one last time.I went to give my mom one last hug, and I could feel that she was breathing. I screamed out my mom is alive And they all looked at me like I was crazy, Rosangela Celestrino, the patients daughter, told the paper.Not only did I have to go collect my mom from a cold storage drawer at the morgue, but when I got there, I find her still breathing, Celestrino went on.By this time, Rosa Celestrino had already spent two hours in a plastic bag in the morgues refrigerator, CBS News reports.According to ABC News, the doctor who pronounced that Celestrino de Assis was dead has resigned. The nurse who initially checked her vital signs was fired.This isnt the first time this year that a living person has been sent to the morgue. In July, a South African man woke up in a morgues locked refrigerator after being there for 21 hours. Morgue workers, hearing a man shouting for help, thought there was ghost in the facility.
