(CNN) It’s a case that sounds like the plot of a horror movie. A family claims a woman was prematurely declared dead at a hospital — and woke up in a body bag, only to die in a freezer where her body was stored.
Now, her outraged and grieving family has received the go-ahead to proceed with its lawsuit.
Maria de Jesus Arroyo’s family claims she was prematurely declared dead and put in the mortuary alive.
The family’s attorney says the woman’s body was found upside down in the body bag, a different position than she was put in.
