An Indian man was declared dead following a motorcycle accident and placed in a morgue freezer — but shocked his family when they discovered that he was still breathing the next day.

Srikesh Kumar, 45, was in critical condition after he was struck by the motorcycle in Moradabad, east of the capital, New Delhi, on Friday, Agence France-Presse reported.

He was declared dead on arrival at a private medical facility and was taken to a government hospital.

The body was placed inside the freezer until his relatives arrived six hours later.

Kumar’s sister-in-law Madhu Bala noticed that he was still moving, the US Sun reported.

Hospital chief Dr. Shiv Singh said “the emergency medical officer had seen the patient at 3 a.m. and there was no heartbeat. He had examined the man multiple times.

He said the incident was the “rarest of rare cases … We can’t call it negligence.”

George Washington’s Taphophobia: The Fear of Being Buried Alive
OCTOBER 31, 2018 / Lives and Legacies website./ FERRY FARM AND KENMORE
On December 14, 1799, as George Washington lay in his final moments on his death bed, he told his secretary Tobias Lear what were likely his last words. Tobias recalled later:

“About ten o’clk he made several attempts to speak to me before he could effect it, at length he said,–‘I am just going. Have me decently buried; and do not let my body be put into the Vault in less than three days after I am dead.’ I bowed assent, for I could not speak. He then looked at me again and said, ‘Do you understand me?’ I replied Yes. ‘Tis well’ said he”.

“ We can’t call it negligence.”

Else we’ll be sued for malpractice 🤪

Let’s call it a miracle! 😇

They ought to have a test for ‘dead’....................

Maybe the NIH can get on that one.

Hey! Who’s that coffin?

It is a cooler not a freezer. You really do not want to freeze bodies. They are a mess when they thaw.

And since this has happened more then once in the US we really have no room to throw stones.

Was he vaxxed and wearing a mask?

Screw the the sword! He’s going to learn how to open a freezer door from the inside with his feet.

The 1st world buys crappy equipment from China.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Big deal, we got a corpse as President.

You know, I just hate it when I wake up dead.

[TigersEye]

I know.

It was a joke based on the article which called it a freezer several times. I’d repeat the joke using ‘cooler,’ since it wouldn’t change the gist of it, but it would still go over your head.

Think of all the people in our morgues that have been saved!
