Regarding George Rodonaia, the Russian scientist, he was run over by a car driven by the KGB in 1976. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and was taken to the hospital, and placed in a freezer. Given KGB involvement in the incident, it's highly likely that he was simply tossed in an ambulance/hearse/whatever with little to no checking since if he wasn't actually dead right then and there, he'd likely die due to his injuries.
When he was pulled from the freezer for the autopsy, the doctor noticed that his eyes flickered, and then did a real assessment. He was wheeled into emergency surgery, and he lived until 2004.

So, he wasn't actually dead. The people at the scene had ample reason to declare him so without verification, but that doesn't mean he actually died.
