Declared dead and kept in mortuary freezer for 7 hours, man comes back to life before post-mortem.


Moradabad: In an unusual incident, a 40-year-old man who was presumed to be dead and kept in a mortuary freezer for almost seven hours was found alive, leaving doctors in bewilderment and swelling the hearts of his family members with happiness.
As per reports, the man identified as Srikesh Kumar, an electrician, was hit by a speeding motorbike following which he was taken to the district hospital on Thursday night and doctors had declared him dead.
The following day, the hospital staff put the body in the freezer at the mortuary pending for post-mortem examination.
Nearly seven hours later, when the police were to file a 'panchnama' or document, endorsed by family members after identifying the body and agreeing to the post-mortem examination, Kumar's sister-in-law, identified as Madhu Bala, noticed that he was showing signs of movement.
In a video that went viral, the girl can be heard saying, "He's not at all dead. How did this happen? Look, he wants to say something, he is breathing".
Doctors described Kumar’s case as ‘rarest of the rare’. He explained various difficulties faced while pronouncing a person lifeless. Such difficulties can result in extraordinary situations, he said.
The man, however, after being found alive, was shifted to a medical facility in Meerut. He has not regained consciousness yet, but medics stated that he is not in danger.
In the meantime, Madhu Bala informed that the family has decided to file a complaint against the Moradabad district hospital’s doctors.
