Inmate rises in mortuary
A PRISONER woke up in a mortuary – after being certified dead by three doctors.
Gonzalo Montoya Jimenez, an inmate at a jail in northern Spain, regained consciousness just hours before an autopsy was due. His body is said by his family to have been marked in preparation for the post-mortem examination. He is now under observation in intensive care at an Oviedo hospital.
His family said Montoya “had autopsy markings on him, ready to be opened up”.
It is suspected to be a case of catalepsy, a condition of complete immobility.
