An Indian man pronounced dead by physicians was revived after a pathologist carried out his autopsy. The 'dead man's' pulse was found to be vibrant.
Himanshu Bharadwaj met a road accident as a result of which he suffered severe injuries and was admitted to a nearby hospital. However, as his condition exacerbated he was taken to a private hospital in Nagpur, where he was declared brain dead.

The body was then brought back to Chhindwara District Hospital and sent for an autopsy. Surprisingly, when the pathologist, Dr Nirnay Pandey performed the autopsy he detected Bharadwaj's pulse. He was rushed to a ward and given intensive care treatment.
"The man was declared brain-dead and upon his arrival at Chhindwara hospital his respiration was dysfunctional and the pulse was also missing. However, his respiratory organs began responding this morning," Dr C Gedam of Chhindwara District Hospital said.

Dr Gedam further said the patient continues to be brain dead and still needs treatment.
"At times, in brain-dead patients, the heart and the respiratory system stop functioning transiently, which seems to be the case here. Himanshu is still brain-dead. Thus, we have referred him to Nagpur due to lack of sufficient facilities locally," the doctor added.
Crowds gathered in front of the district hospital to condemn the negligence exhibited by attendants. However, Bharadwaj's family considers the incident to be a 'miracle'. The Senior Administrative Officers of the hospital dodged questions posed by the media.
