Man mistakenly declared dead 'resurrects' in morgue
2020-11-29
[NEWSINFO.INQUIRER.NET] A 32-year-old man who was mistakenly declared dead suddenly "resurrected" while he was on an embalming table.
When I pass on to the next life, don't send me to the undertaker until I start to rot. There are too many of these stories.
Peter Kigen ended up in the morgue after a blunder in a hospital in Kenya, East Africa, where he was rushed after fainting in his home on Nov. 24.

"Kigen had been suffering from a stomach ailment which forced us to rush him to hospital," his uncle told Citizen TV the day after.

Upon arriving at the center, Kigen’s younger brother Kevin Kipkurui said a doctor attended to Kigen. The doctor then asked Kipkurui to register his older sibling’s details, as per The Standard on Nov. 26.

When Kipkurui returned from filling up the necessary documents, a nurse told him that Kigen had already died.

"The nurse later handed me a document to take to the mortuary attendant before my brother’s body was moved to the morgue," the younger sibling said.

However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the incident eventually took a bizarre turn a few hours later. An attendant had already made a cut in Kigen’s right leg for the formalin when he suddenly woke up screaming in pain, as per report.

The incident shocked the employee and others nearby, who thought that Kigen had "resurrected" from the dead. Upon being informed, Kigen’s family "could not understand how they could move a person who is still alive into the mortuary."

Following the odd turn of events, Kigen is currently recovering in the hospital. Meanwhile,
...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ...
his family has accused the hospital of negligence.
Well...yeah
"I cannot believe what just happened. How did they establish that I was dead?" Kigen stated as he recalled the events.

"I did not even know where I was when I regained consciousness, but I thank God for sparing my life," he said in the report. "I will serve Him for the rest of my life."

Though the family is blaming the hospital for the mishap, one of the doctors insisted that this was not the case. Dr. Gilbert Cheruiyot explained that Kigen’s relatives first presumed he was dead and "did not even wait for certification of death." He also said that they moved him to the morgue on their own.

Dr. Cheruiyot then advised the public to follow proper regulations when rushing a loved one to a hospital.

Qualified professionals. All the best people.
