A 72-year-old man, who was declared dead by a hospital in Madhya Pradesh, was found to be alive after he spent an entire night in the mortuary. The ‘body’ of Kashiram came back to life while he was being sent for postmortem.
The bizarre incident took place at the Bina Civil Hospital in the state’s Sagar district on Thursday, 20 June. Kashiram was admitted after he was found lying unconscious on the road.
The police received information around 9 pm on Thursday about Kashiram’s ‘death’.
“The on-duty doctor was informed about it, who also confirmed that the elderly man was still alive, after which his medical treatment was resumed. However, the old man died at 10:20 am, which was again intimated to the police station," he told NDTV.
Dr RS Roshan, chief medical officer, told NDTV that the negligence done by the doctor will be investigated. “We have instituted an inquiry against the doctor who issued the memo," he said.
