When a nurse and doctor in Brazil found Rosa Celestrino de Assis, a woman who was in the hospital for pneumonia, without vital signs, they pronounced her dead and sent her body to the morgue. But she wasn’t dead, AFP reports. Rosa Celestrino had already spent two hours in a plastic bag in the morgue’s refrigerator. The doctor who pronounced that Celestrino de Assis was dead has resigned. The nurse who initially checked her vital signs was fired. This isn’t the first time this year that a living person has been sent to the morgue. In July, a South African man woke up in a morgue’s locked refrigerator after being there for 21 hours. Morgue workers, hearing a man shouting for help, thought there was ghost in the facility.
