"Dead" man wakes up under autopsy knife
CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead
woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners
began their autopsy.
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.
"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according
to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.
His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.
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.
