Mississippi man wakes up moments before being embalmed

Have you ever had a dream that you were dead? I have. It's not fun. But, I can imagine how much more freightening it would be to wake up in a body bag like Walter Williams, a Lexington, MS man who was pronounced dead only to wake up moments before he was to be embalmed. Hip Hop Wired reports:

Reports WAPT16:

The coroner said he checked Williams' pulse about 9 p.m. Wednesday and pronounced him dead at his home in Lexington.

After the coroner helped move Williams to Porter and Sons Funeral Home, workers were getting ready to embalm him, but that's when he started to move.

Byron Porter said it's the first time he's ever seen anything like it. Williams' was inside the zipped-up body bag and kicking to get out.

"I asked the coroner what happened, and the only thing he could say is that it's a miracle," Holmes County Sheriff Willie March said.

According to the coroner, Williams' pacemaker apparently stopped working, allowing for him to pass as a dead man for the moment.
