CARACAS - 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.
Hospital officials could not be reached immediately to confirm the
events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document
ordering the autopsy.
