THIS is the shocking moment a "dead" woman came back to life at her own funeral – just hours after the family had received her death certificate.
Bella Montoya was taken to Martin Icaza Hospital in Babahoyo, Ecuador, on June 9 after she told her son she was feeling unwell.
But just three hours later, at around 12pm, doctors told Gilbert Rodolfo Balberan Montoya the terrible news that his mum had died.
The cause of "death" was reportedly cardiorespiratory arrest caused by an unspecified blood flow issue to the brain.
Gilbert confirmed to local media that his 76-year-old mum had suffered from hypertension and heart conditions.
Bella was then placed in her coffin at 2pm, according to local media.

Around four hours later, her relatives opened the coffin to change her clothes but nothing could have prepared them for what was to come.
The old woman reportedly began gasping for breath, while still laying in her coffin.
The person filming the bizarre moment said: "We are here at 509 Olmedo Street, where a person who was declared dead in the hospital, has been in the coffin since noon, and it turns out the lady is alive.
"At this moment, we can see that she has vital signs.

"She is struggling to breathe; we called the emergency services, but they told us they will call us back and that there is no ambulance."
Gilbert recounted: "With her left hand, she was hitting the coffin, and her hand was pulsating."
He told local media: "They even gave us a death certificate.
"My mum is on oxygen. Her heart is stable. The doctor pinched her hand, and she reacted; they tell me that is a good sign because it means she is slowly responding."
According to local media, Bella experienced catalepsy – a state of prolonged rigid posture, which is common with schizophrenia or in hypnotic trances.
Local media reported that she was eventually taken to hospital.
Gilbert said: "I am slowly coming to terms with what has happened.
"Now, I only ask for my mother's health to improve. I want her to be alive and by my side."
This comes after a three-year-old girl woke up at her own funeral last year after doctors allegedly wrongly told her parents she had died from a stomach bug.
Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza was declared deceased 12 hours before the service on August 17 but began to stir while trapped inside the coffin.
