JOHANNESBURG (AP) - A South African health official says a man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge nearly a day after his family thought he had died.
Health department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said Monday that the man awoke Sunday afternoon, 21 hours after his family called in an undertaker who sent him to the morgue after an asthma attack.
Kupelo says the man started yelling, prompting morgue workers to run away in fear. They eventually returned and removed him from the fridge. He was then taken to a nearby hospital and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.
The mortuary owner says his family is very happy to have him home.
Kupelo urged South Africans to call on health officials to confirm that their relatives are really dead.
*smiles*...this thread has a short life..
“You’re not fooling anyone, you know.”
Did he discover the answer to the question that has baffled mankind for ages?:
Does the light stay on when the frige door is shut?
...is he completely dead or only mostly dead?
Just chillin’, Bro
None of his lovers dropped by for a cold one?
Please reply if you want ON/OFF the Zombie Ping list ...
When Hell is full, the dead will walk the Earth.

He was then taken to a nearby hospital and later discharged by doctors who deemed him stable.

Yes but have they deemed him ALIVE yet ???
This had happened at least once in a small hospital I worked in. I’m sure it’s happened at least once in the two bigger hospitals in my city as well as many others in the world. Only difference is, this one made it on the news.
‘Dead’ is fairly stable...............
In Africa that is what you have to do to get air conditioning.
He’s actually a ‘Norwegian Blue’ and was pining for the fjords.Just shagged out after a prolonged squawk.
Talk about “shrinkage.”
I think he was yelling: “Could somebody bring me a blanket, please!”
Dang, there's another live one. When will these corpses stay dead?
