In the city of Tarquinia, Italian doctors observed a 78-year-old man's emergence from clinical death as he managed to restore his heartbeat half an hour after being considered dead. This was reported by the publication La Stampa.
The elderly man of Lebanese descent felt unwell and called an ambulance last night.
Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him after two cardiac arrests and called in air ambulance services to take him to the hospital as quickly as possible.
After unsuccessful resuscitation attempts, doctors declared the man dead and recalled the air ambulance back to base. But half an hour later, the man suddenly opened his eyes and got up to ask about his daughters.
Doctors claim that this case is related to the rare 'Lazarus syndrome', where vital functions recover spontaneously. It is named after the biblical episode of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus.
The man who returned to life half an hour after 'death' was hospitalized for research. His condition is currently stable.
We remind you that Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, known as the 'Sleeping Prince', died at the age of 36 after a prolonged coma caused by a car accident in London in 2005.
Italian doctors documented the rare 'Lazarus syndrome', which allows the body to restore vital functions after cardiac arrest. A patient who was declared dead suddenly regained consciousness half an hour later, astonishing the medical staff. This case is rare and reminiscent of the biblical story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus. Medics are investigating this case to discern its causes and consequences.
