RALEIGH, N.C. - 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 Wednesday.

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

That's insnae, glad they found him before he was buried or something like that.:eek:

lol I would have left out the part about it being from NC :angel:

Thats pretty crazy though, how do you mistake someone for being dead? Did they just wing it? "Eww that dude looks gross, I'm not checking for vitals, just put him down as dead?"

Ohh, I would so sue!!

If he was buired he would have been scared to deaht (literally)

[iceburns288]

^^ and he would suffocate! I read a short story about a guy who was buried alive and had to get his way out or something, it was pretty cool.

While we're in the 'NC represent' :D thread, I jsut wanna say it's snowing! w00t! You Canadians think it's lame (even I do, it's like a half inch) but I think it's actually freezing rain, which sucks a lot.

[shakalaka]

I would book it from there. If i saw a dead man breathing again. I have seen enough movies to scare the shit outta me on that one.

Imagine if the "dead" guy started screaming in pain while they're doing the incisions for an autopsy! :eek:
