Ukranian woman comes back to life 10 hours after she was declared dead

Back from the dead

Ksenia Didukh

A woman from the Ukranian town of Stryzhavka, Ksenia Didukh, 83, miraculously came back to life after she was declared dead by both paramedics and police. Didukh's family had started preparing for her funeral, when the retired nurse began to show signs of life. "I have been working as a doctor for 20 years, but I have not seen anything like this," said Dr Tetyana Katylova, the medical officer at the Vinnytsia regional hospital.


When the octogenarian was asked about what she saw when she was in deep coma, she said, "The Kingdom of Heaven. I called for my father! I wanted to ask if it was easy for him there. I thought we would meet, I already felt him. But I opened my eyes and standing above me were these people dressed in white. I thought they were angels, but they were actually doctors. I myself worked as a nurse, saved people and, apparently, God had mercy on me."

"At around 7.30pm we touched her forehead, and it was warm," remarked her daughter Tetyana Potomchenko. "Her armpits were warm, she was alive. The death certificate had to be cancelled and torn up," Potomchenko added. Didiukh was rushed to the hospital, and she was discharged after she recovered fully.

Sleep to succeed

What if someone told you not to work hard for a living? What if they said you can sleep all the time and still be successful? An unlikely Chinese celebrity can vouch for the same. Yuansan, an amateur actor, streamed himself sleeping to check if he snores. What he didn't expect was that thousands of curious viewers had tuned in to watch him sleep. He was shocked to see that the video of him sleeping prompted 8 lakh people to follow his channel.

Sleep to succeed

The meteoric spike in his follower count prompted him to repeat his performance several times, paving the way to him earning an additional 2 lakh followers. He tried offering other types of content on his channel, but his viewers seem to be content with just watching him sleep. "I was bored, so I decided to live-stream myself sleeping, but I didn't think that they [viewers] would be even more bored than I was," he said.
