BUTTERWORTH (Penang) - ONE 65-year-old man came back to life two-and-a-half hours after doctors at a Penang hospital pronounced him dead.
The rare phenomenon known as the Lazarus Syndrome has become the talk of the town. Upon learning of the self-employed man's death, his family began making funeral arrangements and had even put up a canopy in front of his house on Jalan Tok Elong, Tanah Liat in Bukit Mertajam.
His wife and his 26-year-old son, who were on their way to the district police station to lodge a report, were stunned when a doctor called to inform them that the man was alive.
Relating the incident, the man's son, known only as Mr Wei, said he had rushed his father to hospital at about 11am on Thursday when he stopped breathing at their home.
'The doctors performed cardiac pulmonary resuscitation and pronounced him dead an hour later. We then left for the police station when we received a call from a doctor at about 1.30pm,' he said.

As explained in Wikipedia:
Lazarus syndrome is the spontaneous return of circulation after failed attempts at resuscitation (more known as CPR). Its occurrence has been noted in medical literature at least 25 times since 1982. Occurrences of the syndrome are rare and the causes are not well understood. One theory for the phenomenon is that a chief factor (though not the only one) is the buildup of pressure in the chest as a result of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The relaxation of pressure after resuscitation efforts have ended is thought to allow the heart to expand, triggering the heart's electrical impulses and restarting the heartbeat.
