Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway
accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an
autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started
bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his
face.
CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared
dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical
examiners began their autopsy.
"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said,
according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El
Universal.
Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to
confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial
scar and a document ordering the autopsy.
His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her
husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and
alive.
