BrcathleSS Seven
Days But Is Alive

South Norwalk. Conn. March q
His physicians pronounced William
Shirdivene dead seven days ago. and
arrangements for his funeral were be-
gun.
He still lives. although the same
physicians declare he has not drawn
nor exhaled a breath in all the seven
days; there has been no respiration
In that time.
The doctors say Il is an astounding
case Of suspended animation. When
they irritate a nerve center or a great
nerve in Mr.. Sturdiyene's body with
a needle some Of the muscles supplied
by the nerve respond to the irritation.
So the muscles are alive.
Besides, the deterioraiive changes
that take place soon after death are
lacking. Shirdivcne Is in the same
physical condition as before his de
mise" But he answers to none OF the
seyerest tests % determine whether or
not man lives except to nerve lrri-
tation.
Mr.. Shirdiyene, whose home is on
Ely avenue, Is well known here.
