BbcNews via YouTube : Screaming Kenyan morgue workers fled after a man who had been pronounced dead suddenly woke up.
Admitted to hospital, he was given a drug which slowed his heartbeat, Metro reports.
“This [DRUG] might have confused medical personnel, but the victim was saved before he could be embalmed,” Dr Joseph Mburu told Kenya’s Standard newspaper, as cited by Metro.
His family were already beginning to make funeral arrangements when they were told there was no need.
His father said they were left “in shock” by the happy turn of events.
The patient is now in recovery and has apologised to his father.
