BOGOTA, Colombia - A Colombian woman declared dead of a heart attack moved one of her arms just as an undertaker was about to embalm her, doctors said Wednesday.

Noelia Serna, 45, was rushed to a hospital in the city of Cali, where she was in critical condition in an intensive care unit Wednesday, said hospital director Luis Fernando Rendon.

"Her chances of survival are slim," Rendon said.

Personally I feel that this was probably what the doctors might call "residual neural activity." But I give the funeral home worker kudos for at least trying, and for caring. I'm not discounting the possibility of miracles, but personally I don't feel that this is one of them.
