Steff Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 http://www.wral.com/news/4130346/detail.html LOUISBURG -- A medical examiner studying a body in a morgue was shocked when he saw the man take a shallow breath. Larry Green was removed from the morgue at the Franklin County Sheriff's Department and taken to Duke University Medical Center in Durham. He was in critical condition last night. Medical examiner J.B. Perdue was documenting Green's injuries to certify a cause a death when he noticed Green breathing. Green had been declared dead at the accident scene after being hit by a car almost two hours earlier. Emergency medical technicians declared the 29-year-old Louisburg man dead Monday night and put him in a body bag for transport to the morgue. At the morgue, Perdue detected an irregular breath and called emergency medical services to take Green to the hospital. Franklin County attorney Darnell Batton says several members of the Franklin E.M.S. have been suspended pending an investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the coroner's job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 26, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) I thought that was the coroner's job. I actually thought that a doctor had to pronounce someone dead. I mean I know paramedics can arrivce and be like the dude is dead...but I still thought they transported the person to a hospital and a doctor had to officially pronounced it. Shows how much I know.

Rex Kickass Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 My seventh grade teacher's husband served in the Navy during World War II. Apparently he was badly injured at sea and they pronounced him dead. Moments before he was to be buried at sea, the doctor undid the last stitch of the body bag and felt for a pulse. He found one. That gave me nightmares for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 This reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Premature Burial". The man was the master of the macarbre (sp?). Actually, this has not been a rare occurance throughout history. In fact, they used to design coffins with a rope leading to a bell in case the person ... well, you get the idea.
