Wow! An unconscious South African man, presumed dead by his family, had a rude awakening Sunday when he came to his senses in a morgue, officials said.
His cries for help scared the crap out of employees at the mortuary in the Eastern Cape province of Libode. “Two workers heard screaming from the refrigerators,” Sizwe Kupelo, a spokesperson for the Eastern Cape Health Department, said in a recent interview. “They thought it was a ghost and they ran for their lives.”
The man, who did not want his name released but is described as a grandfather in his 60s, had apparently suffered an asthma attack and fell unconscious. “The family called a private undertaker who took what they thought was a dead body to the morgue.”
Relatives did not call paramedics, but instead phoned the mortuary, assuming he was dead. The morgue’s owner said that the worker who picked up the supposedly dead man “examined the body, checked his pulse, looked for a heartbeat, but there was nothing.”

He’d been in the refrigerator with other corpses for at least 21 hours! I would’ve died all over again! via BMS
