On January 30, 2014, there was drama after a man presumed dead at the Machakos Level 5 Hospital's mortuary was found alive.
The man, who was a hawker, is said to have been taken to the mortuary before he was confirmed dead.
The body of the 45-year-old had been discovered in a trench at the Machakos bus park before it was taken to the morgue.
When the body arrived at the mortuary, the morgue attendants were shocked when they found out that the man was still breathing.
The friends who had accompanied police to the mortuary scampered for their safety after the man woke up.
The mortuary attendants quickly took him to the nearest casualty ward where the doctors put him on a drip but he later died.
The deceased's relatives were left in tears when they saw the man's body being returned to the morgue.
The doctors' attempts to save the man's life did not bear fruits.
The deceased is said to have complained about chest pain before he succumbed.
He was a drunkard.
