And Finally... Woman declared dead wakes in morgue
Fancy waking up in a morgue after being declared dead by your doctor?
That's what happened to an 84-year-old Polish woman from the village of Jablonoow.
Medics only became aware of the error when someone saw her body bag moving in the morgue, police said.
The woman's husband had called an ambulance after she fell unconscious and an emergency doctor pronounced her dead, police spokesman January Majewski said.
"A funeral company took the body to the morgue. Several hours later, a worker there noticed the bag containing the body was moving," he said.
"He called a doctor who noted the woman's vital functions had returned."
The woman was taken to hospital in the nearby town of Zwolen and placed in intensive care, where she was said to be in a serious condition on Saturday.
Police have launched an investigation.

Let's hope she didn't bite anyone though, I'm sure this is how Night of the Living Dead started.
