A Polish man who got so drunk that paramedics thought he was dead and sent him to a morgue.

Marek Michalski was in Piotrkow, Poland when the incident occured. He was found with no pulse. Concerned citizens called an ambulance for Michalski, 56, as was sent to the paramedics who thought he was dead. It was totally an awkward scene for Michalski when he found himself inside a body bag. He screamed for help and escaped after rolling the body bag off the table.

Michalski later talked to the local media. He said the last thing he remembered was that he was sitting on a bench. Then he found himself in the morgue. He added someone had to be held responsible for the incident. He started having nightmares that he was being cut by doctors for an autopsy.

He expressed his desire to sue the local hospital that spoke up in its defense saying the paramedic thought he was dead and only the standard operating procedure when they put him inside a sealed body bag.

In July 2011, a similar incident took place in South Africa when an unconscious man was thought to be dead by his relatives. The man came back to his senses only after he had been sent to a morgue. This occured in the Eastern Cape province of Libode. ABC News reported that a couple of workers at the health institute had heard screaming from the refrigerator and thought it was a ghost. They ran for their lives.

The man turned out to be a grandfather in his 60s. He apparently had an asthma attack and got unconscious eventually. The family came and took the 'dead' body to the morgue, according to News24.

One may wonder how these men will overcome the extraordinary psychological trauma they went through finding themselves in the morgue.
