Woman who 'came back to life' and knocked on own coffin during wake has died again

A 76-year-old woman who shocked her relatives by knocking on her coffin during her funeral earlier this month has died after seven days in intensive care.

Ecuadorian Bella Montoya was placed in her coffin at 2 pm on June 9, but horrified her family, when, four hours later, they opened the coffin to change her clothes and found her gasping for breath.

However, it has now been officially announced that she has died "again" from a stroke after spending a week in intensive care.
