A Sixth Form pupil from Mount Pleasant High School in Harare was certified dead at a private hospital in Harare after collapsing at her home on Friday, but miraculously regained consciousness on Saturday after spending a night in a mortuary.
The school authorities had earlier sent the girl home so she could get treatment after she had complained of a severe headache. She reportedly collapsed while at home, resulting in her being rushed to a medical centre in the Avenues reported NewsDay Online.
The school head, who was identified as Chari, refused to comment on the matter or allow the girl to be interviewed referring all questions to her parents. They could, however, not be located.
Cases of people gaining consciousness in the morgue after being certified dead are quite common and in most cases doctors would have erred.
Yesterday, a news report from South Africa said a man spent 21 hours inside a morgue after he was mistaken for dead.
The man from Eastern Cape last Saturday "rose from the dead" after he was placed in a mortuary only to wake up screaming the following day, (Sunday afternoon) and demanding to be taken out of the refrigerator.
