Current Event #4 Dead Man 'Wakes Up'

Walter Williams was pronounced dead Wednesday night in Holmes County, Mississippi. Coroners had him in a body bag, ready to embalm him. Right when they brought him into the room they use to embalm the dead, he began moving and kicking. No one really knows what happened, or how he is alive. Howard, the worker who had driven to Williams home to collect his body, checked his pulse."There was no pulse. He was lifeless," (Howard). How can someone just die, and a few hours later, come back kicking?!

What is the impact of using quotations?
Quotations are salient for this type of story, because you need proof. You can not just affirm that someone died, then came back to life. "We got him into the embalming room and we noticed his legs beginning to move, like kicking...he also began to do a little breathing" (Howard). A quote from someone who discovered that this man was alive, aids in making this story believable to the public.

I think this is really weird, but  I also think this it is fascinating! Once his family had found him deceased, he obviously had no pulse, or was not breathing. Unless you did CPR, you can't just come back to life. They make have done CPR, but this man aroused a day or two after he was pronounced dead. I think this is a really interesting story.
