MULTAN – A woman who was pronounced deceased yesterday at Multan’s NishtarHospital literally returned from the dead and walked away after spendingthe night ‘dead.’

Doctors are providing her proper treatment and are investigating whetherdeclaring her dead was a mistake or if she has really returned to lifeafter a rare situation called Near Death Experience (NDE) in which people,for all intents and purposes, die but return to life.

Either way, the woman, who was brought to hospital for a gunshot woundafter getting hit in a crossfire, is alive and being treated for the wound.

Nishtar Hospital Director Emergency Dr Amjad Chandio claimed the woman wasnot pronounced dead in the emergency room, but a death certificate wasissued by the hospital and it is being investigated whether a lapse wascommitted and by whom.
