'Dead' girl wakes up as doctors preparing to harvest her organs

A teenage girl in a coma after a catastrophic car crash came round just as doctors were about to declare her brain dead.

Carina Melchior had had life support withdrawn on the advice of medics and was being prepared for organ donation.  But to the astonishment of staff at the Aarhus Hospital, in Denmark, the 19-year-old suddenly opened her eyes and started moving her legs.


She is now making a good recovery at a rehabilitation centre and is able to walk, talk and even ride her horse Mathilde.

Her family is now suing the hospital for damages, claiming that doctors had been desperate to harvest her body parts.

Ms Melchior, now 20, crashed her car in October last year.  She was in hospital for three days before doctors realised her brain activity was fading and consulted her family about stopping treatment.  It was at this point they agreed to donate her organs. 

Hey worst place to take a nap is in a hospital.  They may confuse you with a stiff and you wake in the morgue.  Of even worse...trying to harvest your organs. In fact my advice is just stay away from hospitals. Most people I know come out feeling worse than when they went in.
