A man in India who was declared dead after being hit by a motorbike was found alive after spending in morgue overnight inside a freezer.
Srikesh Kumar was rushed to a private hospital where he was declared dead on arrival by the doctor, after the accident in Moradabad, east of New Delhi. The victim's body was then transported to a government hospital for post-mortem on Friday.
"The emergency medical officer examined him. He did not find any signs of life and hence declared him dead," Rajendra Kumar, the hospital's medical superintendent, told AFP on Sunday.
The doctor said police were informed and the body was placed in the morgue freezer until his family arrived six hours later.
"When a police team and his family came over to initiate the paperwork for the autopsy, he was found alive," he added.
The 45-year-old victim was undergoing further treatment but was still in coma, according to Rajendra.
The investigation was underway to determine how the doctors mistakenly declared him dead.
