KZN Health: No record of woman waking up in mortuary
The Department of Health in KZN says it has no
record at any of its facilities of a woman who claims to have woken up inside a
Durban mortuary after being certified dead by doctors.
The woman told a local publication that doctors at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital certified her death last month.
She says it was after she had passed out on the side of a road in Phoenix.
She claims she later woke up inside a freezer at the Phoenix Medico-Legal Mortuary.
