| Mortuary attendants in Durban were shocked this week when a man, who had been declared dead by paramedics and taken to a government mortuary, suddenly started breathing and woke up in front of them. "AAA! It's alive! It's alive!" Gale Street Mortuary Unit Commander Thegran Moodley said: "The man had been involved in a car accident somewhere in the Umbumbulu area at the weekend. After the paramedics had certified him dead, my staff were called in to fetch the body." After arriving at the mortuary the attendants had been preparing to label the body when the man had started breathing heavily and had woken up. Surprise meter nearly broke the needle, it jumped so fast. "The attendants ran away because they were shocked," said Moodley.
"You can make it. You can make it
" Hospital staff confirmed on Thursday night that a man had been sent to the hospital from the Gale Street mortuary, but refused to give any details. Moodley said the attendants were being treated for shock. | |||

| #1 Given the prevalence of "traditional" beleif I don't wonder at the attendants reaction. Either that or they saw a slasher/zombie flick previous night and took the natural precautionary action. I'm not sure what i'd do in that situation. |
