Carlos Camejo, 33, of Venezuela was pronounced dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue. At the morgue, examiners began an autopsy, but it was clear that something was horribly amiss when Camejo began bleeding.

The examiners rushed to sew up the incision on his face, as Camejo woke up in excruciating pain.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo told local newspaper El Universal.

And imagine the shock of his wife, who came to identify her husband's body only to find him alive and well.

Hospital officials were unable to be reached to confirm the course of events, but Camejo showed off the document that ordered the autopsy and the scar on his face.
