Dead Saudi child wakes up in morgue to parents' delight

Published

A 12-year-old Saudi boy declared dead at a government hospital after a car crash woke up inside the morgue as his family prepared to bury him.

Doctors at the hospital in Riyadh had told the boy’s family they could not save him and gave them a certificate declaring his death.He was then sent to the hospital morgue as his family made arrangements for his burial later in the day, a newspaper said.

“When burial preparations were ready, hospital workers went to the morgue to deliver the body to the family,” Kabar Arabic language daily said.

“But they were stunned when they noticed the boy was moving…they rushed him to the intensive care unit, where he is still lying there alive.”The paper said the boy’s family had mixed feelings of delight for his survival and anger for the “wrong diagnosis.”

Dead man's sweat to cure illness

Cannibalistic concoctions or corpse medicine will definitely qualify as the most disgusting school of medicine. 109.com has revealed a list of weird treatments made of human organs, salves of human fat and powdered remains of embalmed bodies, reports Daily Mail.

'Mummy powder' - ground-up remains of ancient Egyptian kings, dug up from graveyards - was used during 12th to 17th century to cure all ailments.

'Mellifield Man' treatment that evolved in China involved bathing and feeding an old man (about 70-80 years of age) with only honey until he died. Then his coffin would be filled with honey and kept for another couple of decades until he would have turned 100. Then the coffin would be broken up and the body consumed as medicine to cure orthopaedic ailments. 

'Kings Drops' made from the essence of powdered human skull to promote vigour in England.

'Gladiator livers and blood' was seen as an epileptic cure in Rome in the 17th century.

The sweat of a dying man was also prescribed as treatment for hemorrhoids.

Similarly, human fat combined with animal fat and marrow was used to cure joint and bone pains and even nerve damage.

The paper reported that last month customs officials in South Korea had seized thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh.
