The opposite phenomenon, where the heart stops beating before the person is actually dead, has been observed in criminals who have been electrocuted. Being aware of this fact, a doctor was permitted to give a ‘dead’ man an injection in order to ease the spasm, because the doctor had attributed the sudden cardiac arrest to a spasm induced by the electricity. His diagnosis proved to be correct; the executed man who had appeared to be dead came back to life and had to undergo a second time the distressing procedure of the electric chair.

Many other astonishing incidents and facts connected with the functions of the heart could no doubt be cited. New surprises still come to light, some being discovered accidentally and others as a result of medical research.
