‘Back from the dead’ man scares morgue attendants

A 50-year-old man gave two morgue attendants the fright of their lives when he woke up after 24 hours on a slab and demanded to be taken out of the “cold place”.

The men fled the building in South Africa’s Eastern Cape thinking they had seen a ghost.

The man had been taken to the morgue by an undertaker called by his family who thought he had died.
