She was talking while in rigor mortis? And there are no doubts in your mind of the veracity of that claim?
Miracle=code-word for bullshit.

I guess irreversible brain-death is just another atheistic construct, huh?

You people that upding this should be ashamed. Why not google “rigor mortis” before demonstrating how gullible you are?

Hint: Rigor mortis starts in the neck and jaw! So even if a person with an immobilized jaw was somehow capable of talking, they haven’t drawn breath for four or more hours prior to reaching that state. No oxygen=no speaky. Hence, she could not have been four hours beyond irreversible brain death and in rigor mortis, by any stretch of the imagination, and then started to talk. Can you wrap your minds around that?

“She’s in rigor mortis. I guess we’ve lost her…”
“Not so fast!”
LOL! Really, that’s just too much.

Well, she was at the Cleveland Clinic, and they are a reputable hospital, so I think it’s safe to assume something unusual happened. Perhaps not exactly what the story reports- the link appears to be from a tv station, and we all know how how accurate the news writers are in television.
It rather reminds me of The Serpent and the Rainbow, a book written by a Harvard scientist that, well, explores how they make people zombies in Haiti. If I recall correctly, individuals appear (key word here) dead, and then eventually wake up after their funerals; however, they are severely brain damaged from lack of oxygen. Of course, one might expect that the Cleveland Clinic has better equipment than Voodoo General in Haiti, but then again, you never know.

Bottom line: rigor mortis was not involved. That would mean her lungs hadn’t absorbed oxygen for four hours and her blood hadn’t been circulating. Even a person in a vegetative state doesn’t enter rigor mortis. Atrophy, yes. But rigor mortis is only reversed by the beginning of
