Death, then life again by adrenalin miracle
Detroit police confronted a suspected holdup man, Foho Jones, who was shot during a running gunfight and pronounced dead. Dr Courtney Fremont revived him with adrenaline, and Jones lived five hours while police gathered information before dying again.

The account also recounts Brooklyn twins born dead, with the boy revived and the girl dying young, noting multiple later rescues by adrenaline and similar miracles in various cities.
