A woman, who was hospitalized in Guayaquil, Ecuador, unconscious three weeks ago amid a Covid-19 epidemic, woke up to find that her death had been announced due to confusion in identities, according to her family.
The death of Alba Maruri, 74, was announced on March 27 after she was hospitalized with a fever and respiratory problems.
A week later, his family received a body that had been burned without being identified by a family member.
Her sister’s son, Juan Carlos Ramírez, said on social media, before confirming his account, by phone, that Marori “was in a coma for three weeks and with Covid crazy (in the hospital) there was a confusion of names and his death was announced. “
The Septuagint woman who woke up on Thursday gave her name and her sister Aura’s phone number to call her.
“The doctors went to my aunt’s (Aura) house to verify the error,” said Ramírez.
“We still do not know the identity of those who put their ashes in the house,” he added.
He stressed that his aunt is “in good condition,” adding that the family has asked the hospital for compensation for the cost of cremation, and assumed “pain and grief caused by death.”
“My sister is in a hospital room waiting to be discharged,” Aura told reporters. “Almost a month has passed since his death was announced and I’ve been saving someone else’s ashes for so long …”
Guayaquil, the economic capital of Ecuador and the most populous city, is the epicenter of the Covid-19 epidemic in the country, with more than 22,000 infections and 576 deaths.
