Seven hours after being kept in mortuary freezer, a 40-year-old man came out alive, confounding medical staff in UP’s Moradabad.

Sreekesh Kumar, an electrician, was hit by a speeding motorbike following which he was taken to thedistrict hospital on Thursday night. The doctors had declared him dead. Next, the hospital staff put the body in the freezer. Post-mortem was scheduled for the next day.

Nearly seven hours later, when panchnama — a document signed by family members after identifying the body and agreeing to an autopsy — was to be filed by the police, Kumar's sister-in-law Madhu Bala noticed that he was showing signs of movement. In a video that went viral, Bala can be heard exclaiming, “He's not at all dead. How did this happen? Look, he wants to say something, he is breathing.”

Moradabad’s chief medical superintendent Dr Shiv Singh, said: “The emergency medical officer had seen the patient at 3am and there was no heartbeat. He had examined the man multiple times. Therefore he was declared dead. In the morning, a police team and his family found him alive. A probe has been ordered. Our priorityis to save his life.”
