Ekaterina Fedyaeva, 27, of Russia, is said to have died after medics put her on a formalin drip – a solution containing formaldehyde – instead of saline. She was in hospital for an unspecified but routine surgery when she was injected with formalin, normally infused into the veins of the dead to prevent decomposition. Her mother accused physicians of “murder” following the incident in her home city of Ulyanovsk, Russia. Ekaterina suffered horrible pains and convulsions for two days before falling into a coma. She was attached to a life support machine but her heart stopped beating several times. The doctors didn’t admit exactly what had happened, with a female doctor allegedly telling her: “A medical mistake took place. Her distraught mother said,”She is in coma now, her heart, lungs and liver stopped working. She is attached to an artificial lung ventilator.”
