“I lifted the coffin, her heart was pounding, her left hand was hitting the coffin… We called 911 to take her to the hospital,” her son Gilberto Barbera said in a video posted on social media.

In the video, people are seen waiting and supporting Bella Montoya as emergency services arrive at the scene and take the 76-year-old back to the hospital. According to Ecuador's Ministry of Health , a state investigation is currently underway.
They said the woman was admitted to hospital on Friday with a possible stroke and cardiopulmonary arrest, and after she failed to respond to resuscitation, a doctor on duty pronounced her dead.
Ecuador’s health ministry said Ms Montoya was in intensive care at Martín Icaza Hospital in Babahoyo – the same facility that initially declared her dead. Her current condition is unclear.
Ecuador's Ministry of Health said that in coordination with the Agency for Quality Assurance of Health Services, a national technical committee has been created “to initiate a medical control to determine responsibility for the alleged confirmation of death.”
