"He made several attempts to say, 'Hey, I'm here.' But it was kind of ignored. They finally stopped the procedure because he was showing too many signs of life," the family said.

Previously, the patient was experiencing cardiac arrest and was deemed code blue.

"October 26, we were told there were no reflexes, he had no reflexes, there was no brain activity, no brain waves," family said.

"About an hour into it, the doctor came out and got us. He said he wasn't ready. He woke up.

But we also hadn't been told during his heart catheterization that morning, he woke up then. If we had known that, then clearly we would have known he wasn't brain dead."

The NKY woman accused of killing and dismembering her mother and then cooking her severed head and other body parts was an aspiring actor in California who went by a different name, according to a report.

Torilena May Fields, 32, was arrested on Oct. 9 following an 11-hour standoff with state police after a worker found a disemboweled human torso in the backyard of her mother's home.

Fields has since been charged with the murder of her mother, Trudy Fields, after she emerged covered in blood from the Mount Olivet, Ky. home where investigators found a charred and severed head, hands, feet and forearm in a "still warm" pot in the oven.

Fields' family members were shocked and devastated by the gruesome murder and told the news station she had recently moved back to her mother's Kentucky house after living in California for several years while pursuing a career as an actor, model and singer.

"Navarre" aka Fields starred in two 2019 films, "The Desert Project" and "A Dance Story," according to her IMDb page.
