A woman in Ecuador who was previously discovered to be alive in a coffin at her own wake has now actually passed away.
Bella Montoya, 76, died Friday afternoon after spending a week hospitalized in critical care in the coastal city of Babahoyo, according to Gilbert Barberán, the woman’s son. Montoya was quickly transported to the Martin Icaza General Hospital when she was found alive after banging on her own coffin at the wake in Babahoyo. “During her hospital stay, she received comprehensive medical care and periodic evaluation by hospital specialists.
Montoya initially entered the hospital for a stroke and was reported dead once before. Barberán told CNN that he has to register his mother’s death on the civil registry for a second time. Montoya’s daughter, Zeneida Leal, said her mother’s condition had been worsening.
