The notion behind “life after death” has been up for debate, but in this unusual case a man from Mississippi has proven you can “wake up from the dead” — sort of. Walter Williams, a 78-year-old man from Lexington was pronounced dead at 10:30 p.m. at his home only to be found alive hours later inside a body bag morning inside a funeral home.

The elderly man woke up from the dead just moments before funeral home workers were getting ready to embalm him. Although the funeral home manager and Williams’s family members were baffled by the series of events, the coroner believes the man’s pacemaker was to blame, Medical Daily reported. It is believed Williams’s pacemaker stopped for a brief period and then started up again. The case is seen as a miracle in Mississippi.
