'Dead' woman found alive in morgue fridge


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A South African woman is recovering in hospital after being discovered alive in a mortuary fridge.

The woman was taken to Carletonville morgue, in Gauteng province, having been declared dead by paramedics following a road accident.

Ambulance company Distress Alert said she had shown "no form of life", South Africa's TimesLive website reports.

But when a morgue worker returned to check on the body in the fridge, he found the woman was breathing.

Her pulse could have been weak enough that it wasn't detected or maybe she flatlined and the paramedics called her dead too quickly (obviously) but it may not have been completely their fault.  She must not have been breathing well when she was put in the cooler as aren't the bodies checked when they get to the morgue?.  Luckily an autopsy wasn't started. One thing the article left out was if the woman's breathing was relatively strong or shallow.

This is not necessarily an oversight by the medical team. People who have been declared clinically dead have on very rare occasions spontaneously recovered minutes and even hours later. Cold much delays the self-destruction of cells. So, in this instance the morgue served its purpose in a most unusual way.
