Karimnagar: A 55-year-old woman was allegedly declared dead by a hospital in Karimnagar when she was still alive, her family members claimed on Monday.
They began making arrangements for her last rites when the woman, Kanakamma, stirred to life at Rangapet of Sarangapur mandal of Jagtial district on Monday. The hospital has denied the allegation.
Ms Kanakamma, a resident of Rangapet, was seriously injured when she slipped and fell down on a stone at her home on May 31. She was admitted in a Surya Hospital at Karimnagar.
On examining Ms Kanakamma, the doctors conducted a surgery after which she went into a coma. Her family members claimed that the doctors told them that she was in a serious condition and they were fighting to save her life. After a few hours, they declared that Ms Kanakamma was dead and asked her family members to take the body home, the family said.
The family took the ‘body’ home, informed their relatives and were making arrangements for her cremation when they observed her moving.
They found that Ms Kanakamma was trying to breathe. The shocked family members immediately shifted her to the Jagtial area hospital.
