A Milwaukee man was declared dead Tuesday, and his family was notified, but as he was about to be transported to the morgue, he started to move.
"They found him cold to the touch and in rigor," the report said. "They did not attempt to resuscitate him."
"Death was pronounced," and firefighters called the medical examiner, according to the report.
The medical examiner’s office called for a transport. An hour later, the transport crew arrived, and just as they were starting to take him away, there was a shocking turn of events: The man began to breathe and move his right arm and leg.
Firefighters had already left the scene, so the medical examiner's team called 911.
The Milwaukee Fire Department crew returned and found he had a heart rate. They quickly took him to an area hospital.
The victim remains in the Columbia-St. Mary's Hospital Intensive Care.
The report said there were no signs of street drug use or alcohol abuse.
His brother told WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr on Thursday he's doing a lot better

Best guess? Perhaps a seizure made him look like he was in rigor??? Or God just sad, "Not yet."
