'Dead' Man Revives After Night in Morgue

HANOI (Reuters) - An elderly Vietnamese man thought to have died in a hospital revived after spending the night in the morgue, state media and a doctor said on Friday.



Nguyen Van Quan, 73, was declared dead and taken to a Ho Chi Minh City hospital morgue on the night of August 15 but was found alive by his daughter the next morning as she was retrieving the body for the funeral, the Vietnam News daily said.

"I was shocked and frightened when I saw the blanket that covered my father moving," Quan's daughter was quoted as saying. "When the morgue's officials pulled back the blanket, my father's eyes moved, brightening with joy."

A doctor at the Nguyen Tri Phuong hospital, where Quan had been admitted after complaining of chest pain, told Reuters: "He is now still in the emergency section."

After Quan's heart failed and he was declared dead, the man was placed in the morgue where he was laid for seven hours among corpses.

The doctor declined to elaborate on the case but said investigations into the incident were under way.

that's why it's called a WAKE... held a few days after someone is pronounced dead.

After Quan's heart failed and he was declared dead, the man was placed in the morgue where he was laid for seven hours among corpses.When he woke from his unfortunate slumber, he realized he was lying among a bunch of stinking corpses's and began to die once again.

This reminds me of something I was once told about the origins of a wake, but I can't verify if it's true or not. It's something to do with watching the dead because often times they would wake up from their grave, so they'd tie a bell to them in case they accidentally buried someone alive. Here's a better explanation from word origins:
