Dead man kept in fridge for 8 days walks out of mortuary to catch fresh air in front of uncompleted building
A 17-year-old boy whose body has been preserved at the CEBEC hospital in Douala, Cameroon for more than a week has come back to live.
The teenager identified as Poupog Kevin was physically seen comfortably sitting in a chair and catching some fresh air outside the mortuary.
Kevin was declared dead after drowning in the pool on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at the Bellevue Hotel in Douala.
Mortuary attendants found him sitting in a chair outside the mortuary on Monday, Feb. 5,2024.
The deceased, who had been naked whiles in the morgue, was seen wearing a white robe and underwear.
Head mortician at the CEBEC hospital, Louis Maries Mbella told reporters that ‘It was around 3am (Monday) when the security guard knocked at my door to inform me that someone had taken a chair to sit outside. I approached the young man and asked him, ‘Why did you take this chair outside, and when they asked you refused to react?’ He said nothing’.
Mbella added ‘I now put on my phone’s torch light and pointed at him, that is when I discovered that it was the young man who died last Sunday. I went inside to check if truly he was the one and I discovered that he was not where we had embalmed and left him. All those inside were naked but he was outside, eyes closed, but he was smiling’.
The body of the deceased teen has since been sent back to the mortuary.
