Dead Man Resurrects After Spending a Night in Mortuary Fridge

A South African motorcyclist Msizi Mkhize, 28, who was declared dead at the scene of an accident was found alive in a mortuary fridge the next day.

According to reports, Mkhize was walking home with a friend when he was hit in Kwa-Mashu, a township north of the coastal city of Durban, last week.

He was declared dead at the scene of the accident then his body was transported to the Phoenix mortuary, where his body was placed in a fridge.

However, after spending a night at the morgue, Mkhize came back to life.

Imran Keeka, a provincial official for the opposition Democratic Alliance party, said: “When his family arrived for identification purposes a pulse was found in the patient by mortuary staff, who then immediately transported him to Mahatma Gandhi hospital for resuscitation,”

Msizi was resuscitated by nurses and his family was informed of his resuscitation. However, five hours later, Msizi unfortunately died. Understandably, his irate family are now demanding answers.

His Dad Peter Mkhize said:“I have no words to express how I feel about what happened to my child. To spend the entire night and morning in the mortuary refrigerator is wrong.”

The South African health department has begun an inquiry into what actually took place at the scene of the accident.
