I'm sitting here typing away when I hear it on Headline News :Q

My housemate was telling me last night (he's an engineer for the NC DOT) and was telling me this story about a guy that was walking the highway when he got hit by a car. The force of the impact knocked him out of his boots and he was thrown 200 feet away from the car/boots. His pants were knocked off and a doctor arrived on scene (called by whom....I dunno), and he was declared dead on scene. He was bagged up and sent to the morgue...

About a few hours later, an ME at the morgue goes to make some observations of the body. He opens it up and the dude is inside SHIVERING so they airlift him to either Duke or UNC hospital.

I'm typing all of this from memory from last night from when he told me...I couldn't believe it at the time.

LOOKING FOR A LINK NOW!!

RALEIGH, N.C. Jan 26, 2005 ? A medical examiner studying a body in a morgue was startled when the man took a shallow breath. Emergency medical technicians had declared 29-year-old Larry D. Green dead almost two hours earlier, after he was hit by a car.

Medical examiner J.B. Perdue was called to the accident scene Monday but did not examine Green then. Later, he was documenting Green's injuries when he noticed the man was breathing.

"I had to look twice myself just to make sure it was there, that's how subtle it was," Perdue said.

Green, 29, was taken to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, where he was in critical condition Tuesday.

Several members of the Franklin County emergency medical service have been suspended pending an investigation, said Darnell Batton, the county attorney.

Wait, he didn't bother to examine him AT the scene? How can you declare someone dead then?

And isn't there a chance he was in fact dead and came back to life naturally?
