A man, believed by his family to be dead and taken to a hospital for further procedures, made a miraculous recovery just minutes before being transferred to the mortuary in this north Kerala district.<\/p>\n
Pavithran, a 67-year-old from Pachapoika in nearby Koothuparamba, shocked everyone by coming back to life, even after his family had made arrangements for his funeral the next day.<\/p>\n
A freezer was readied at the AKG Memorial Co-operative Hospital mortuary here at the request of relatives to temporarily store the body.<\/p>\n
However, just before the “dead body” was taken into the mortuary, a vigilant hospital staff member noticed a faint movement of his fingers and immediately alerted Pavithran’s relatives and doctors.<\/p>\n
Jayan, a hospital attendant, said he noticed Pavithran’s fingers moving as the body was about to be shifted into the mortuary.<\/p>\n
Pavithran was immediately rushed to the intensive care unit, hospital authorities confirmed.<\/p>\n
According to family sources, Pavithran, who had been suffering from various health issues, including cardiac and lung-related ailments, was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mangaluru, Karnataka.<\/p>\n
Although he was on ventilator support at the hospital, the family reportedly decided to bring him back to his hometown on Monday due to the high cost of treatment.<\/p>\n
Relatives said the doctors in Mangaluru had informed them that Pavithran would not survive without ventilator support and would die within 10 minutes if it was removed.<\/p>\n
They also claimed he had not opened his eyes after being shifted from the hospital and that his blood pressure had been critically low.<\/p>\n
Justifying their assumption that he had passed away, the family explained that the doctors in Mangaluru had told them he was unlikely to survive the over five-hour journey in an ordinary ambulance without a ventilator.<\/p>\n
During the journey, Pavithran reportedly remained motionless, showing no signs of life, relatives added.<\/p>\n
Pavithran’s wife and sister accompanied him in the ambulance, while other relatives followed in a car.<\/p>\n
Upon arriving at night, the family brought his “body” to the AKG Hospital to store it in the mortuary and proceeded to make funeral arrangements for Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jayan, the hospital attendant who noticed the movement, shared his experience with reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“Besides me, our electrician Anoop was also there. He noticed the man’s fingers moving and called me. I saw it too. We immediately alerted the relatives and doctors. When the patient’s blood pressure was checked, it was found to be normal,” he said.<\/p>\n
The AKG Memorial Hospital authorities confirmed on Wednesday that Pavithran remains in the ICU and is responding positively to treatment.<\/p>\n
“He is opening his eyes and looking at people when his name is called. Although his condition remains critical, he is responding well,” an official stated.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a section of local newspapers had published Pavithran’s “obituary” on Tuesday, prompting several people to visit his house to pay their condolences for his supposed demise.<\/p>\n
