A man in Russia’s Far East woke up in the morgue after having been declared dead, local media report. Before the incident, he had been doing vodka rounds with friends – and after the “miraculous awakening,” he went back to the party
His friends called an ambulance and medical staff hastily declared the man dead before taking him to the morgue, according to the daily. However, the man eventually came back to his senses (somewhat) – only to find himself in a mortuary freezer.
“That night the local morgue was filled to its capacity, the bodies were not only on the shelves, but also on the floor of the freezer room, where our ‘dead’ hero was allocated,” Aleksey Stoyev, a police spokesman, told the newspaper.
“At some point, the man woke up, failing to understand where he was. It was very dark and cold. In addition his brain was foggy due to the influence of alcohol. In the darkness, he felt someone’s completely cold limbs and in fear rushed to the door. But it was locked.”
He started screaming for help and pounding on the door. His calls drew the attention of the morgue’s guard, who reported the situation to the doctors. The latter thought that the guard was imagining things, according to the local report. Nonetheless, out of cautiousness the doctors called police.
Opening the door police were met by the ‘resurrected’ man who in panic ran out of the room, according to the department of criminal investigations. Police questioned the man and released him.
Returning to the place of the party, he found his friends were still drinking, but this time commemorating him. The person who opened the door was so shocked that he fainted, Khasanskiye Vesti says. The commemoration ceremony was quickly revamped into a re-birthday party.
Ah, the ol’ Vodka stasis trick....
Yes, very popular at Russian parties, often mistaken for Death.
As every Russian knows, you have to leave it three days to be sure.
Live Hard,Party Hard !
To be fair, the doctors were probably almost as drunk...
Hardcore man!!.....
Hardcore!!
OK, this sounds like a Hollywood script
Paging Ted Kotcheff
Charlie Sheen in as lead role
“Ma’am, we can tell from the footprints he climbed out of the vat twice to pee. He’s just resting now.”
Probably the doctors declaring him dead were also very drunk.
And a grand time was had by all!
Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you woke up alive in that morgue and went back to the party. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it.
AMC along with the Russian TV and film board bring you The Walking Drunk. Filmed entirely in Russia with the extras as the swarms of "Stumblers" paid entirely in vodka. Headshots do nothing to the Stumblers. You have to aim for their livers... their tough, tough livers.
