Man wakes up after 21 hours in morgue refrigerator

[Chimpie]

From Evansville's Courier & Press:

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African man awoke to find himself in a morgue fridge — nearly a day after his family thought he had died, a health official said Monday.

But a day after staff put the body into a locked refrigerated compartment, morgue workers heard someone shouting for help. They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.

“I couldn’t believe it!” Maqolo said. “I was also scared. But they are my employees and I had to show them I wasn’t scared, so I called the police.”

Clicky

They thought it was a ghost, the morgue owner said.

“I was glad they (police) had their firearms, in case something wanted to fight with us,” Maqolo said.

I read this story and my jaw dropped at the stupidity. The family called the morgue directly. :rofl:
