NEW DELHI, India — An Indian man declared dead after a road accident shocked his relatives when they found him still breathing despite a night in the freezer of a hospital morgue. ADVERTISEMENTHe was transported to a private medical facility where he was declared dead on arrival by the doctor and then transported to a government hospital for a post-mortem on Friday. 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.
