Prisoner Who "died" and came back to life Argued his life sentence has Technically Finished
In the 90s, Benjamin Schreiber was convicted of first-degree murder for clubbing a man to death with a pickaxe handle and was destined to spend the rest of his days behind bars
In 2015, Schreiber developed kidney stones and started suffering septic poisoning, according to CNN. At a local hospital, he was resuscitated five times as his heart had briefly stopped
The Guardian reports doctors used epinephrine and adrenaline to revive the man and once he stabilised, they treated his sepsis and he was sent back to jail
After that incident, the convicted murderer tried to argue in court that he should be allowed to leave prison after successfully fulfilling his 'life sentence'
Not only that, but Schreiber says he was revived against his will as he had signed a 'Do Not Resuscitate' order years earlier, according to The Des Moines Register
Schreiber's brother was brought in and told medical staff;
'If he is in pain, you may give him something to ease the pain, but otherwise you are to let him pass'.
Schreiber decided to take it a step further and go to the Iowa Court of Appeals, but the judge was not impressed, stating:
“Schreiber is either still alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is actually dead, in which case this appeal is moot."
