A Kenyan man, Paul Mutora from Limuru woke up in the mortuary after he was confirmed dead for up to 20 hours.
A 24-year-old suicide victim, Mutora was pronounced dead after he drank insecticide following an argument with his father.
He left hospital staff in shock after he woke up inside one of the mortuary chambers where he was due to be embalmed, PTI reported.
Naivasha District Hospital workers said that Mutora had been confirmed dead for about 20 hours when he woke up and started calling out for help.
Dr Joseph Mburu, the hospital superintendent explained that the anti-poison drugs given to Mutora on admission to the hospital may have been responsible for giving the false impression of death.
He said: “The effect of atropanes can sometimes cause slowing of heart rate and dilation of the pupils.”
