Malaysian Man Makes Miraculous Recovery from Brain Death; Part of the Brain That Was Surgically Removed Due to Brain Cancer Later Restored

Malaysian Tony Low was pronounced brain dead by not one but four physicians, who advised his wife to give consent for him to be taken off life support. However, about a week into brain death, he miraculously recovered and lived to tell his amazing experience while in coma.

Due to brain cancer, Low also had a substantial part of his brain surgically removed, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed sometime post-surgery showed that the part of the brain that was removed had been inexplicably restored, confounding his surgeon.
