The man had already had a fatal act diagnosed with a heart attack, it was canceled
A 72-year-old man from Sliven, pronounced dead, woke up in the morgue and is currently being treated in the intensive care unit of the regional general hospital “Dr. Ivan Seliminski”. The unusual case was confirmed today before “24 Chasa” by the hospital management.
The man lived alone in the Druzhba neighborhood of Sliven. His relatives were in the United States and, upon leaving, entrusted the care of the elderly man to a neighbor. The neighbor was fulfilling his duties, but at one point his patient stopped answering the phone and did not answer the bells on the closed front door of his apartment. Concerned, the neighbor alerted police, firefighters and ambulances, whose representatives broke down the front door at 11 am Tuesday. When they entered the apartment, they found its owner defenseless, with no signs of life. They decided he was dead and set out to prepare him for his last time by scheduling the funeral for the next day. They placed him in a coffin and took him to the hospital morgue, and a personal physician issued a death certificate with a heart attack diagnosis.
To the horror of the morgue paramedics, the man in the coffin, which had not been accidentally closed, moved. Hospital personnel immediately removed him from the coffin and took him to the Emergency Center on a stretcher, and at 9:30 p.m. he was pronounced dead for resuscitation.
“Until now, the man is alive, his death certificate was immediately annulled,” the hospital’s deputy director, Dr. Hrisant Hrisantov, told 24 Chassa. He suggests that the patient’s condition misled his colleagues, as it was indeed very serious: The 72-year-old suffered from diabetes, low hemoglobin and other diseases. Most likely, he was in a diabetic coma, in which the patient could easily be mistaken for a corpse.
