August 19, 2008 Today's Unbearable Yet Truly Morbid Fact! A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy. Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face. "I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal. His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive. Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy. Culled

Stitching up a live one must have been really stressful!! ********** Morbid Trinket Du Jour! Paula stumbled across a brilliant lamp that, unfortunately, looks like a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. Too bad - I'd purchase this in a flash! http://www.enpieza.com/imagenes/productosEng/trabajos/colgao.jpg ********** Morbid Sightseeing! Steve sent me a link to his Flickr page with photos of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans that were taken after the cemetery re-opened post Katrina. It was a relief to see that the cemetery did not suffer any apparent damage from the deluge. Here's a link to Steve's photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve_o3/sets/1270320/ And here's the travelogue that I made of my 2002 visit to the cemetery: |
