strange]

My money's on medical malpractice. We are not given the complete story in the article but if his supposed "death" was due to pneumonia caused by severe hypothermia, it is very possible he was in a coma. Upon exposure to extremely low temperatures, circulation and respiration slow down to the point where they are almost undetectable, in order to conserve precious energy. The heart stops pumping blood to the extremities and focuses only on the organs it needs to stay alive; namely itself, the brain and lungs. Considering that this was in Brazil, where half of the population is so corrupt it won't do anything without getting paid first, I think it's likely the doctors didn't care enough to perform a thorough examination. If the body was not embalmed, and apparently it is not uncommon to forgo the embalming process in Brazil, then it is possible he was never dead.

Just a theory though. It's also possible it's completely made up.
