WEST CARROLLTON, Ohio – Doctors are trying to figure out how a southwest Ohio man was dead for close to an hour but then suddenly came back to life.
According to WHIO-TV in Dayton, Tony Yahle, of West Carrollton, had breathing trouble recently, was rush to a hospital but then had his heart stop beating while in the emergency room.
The 37-year-old Yahle had been declared dead for 45 minutes when his vital signs started showing life again.
He woke up five days later with a new lease on life and no memory about what had happened.
Doctors suspect a viral infection caused the health issues but are really at a loss to explain what took place.
