A drunk had a sobering experience after he was sent to a morgue by paramedics who thought he was dead.

Marek Michalski, 56, was found passed out on a bench without a pulse in Piotrkow, Poland, before concerned members of the public called an ambulance.

Hours later he awoke in a body bag and screamed for help. He managed to roll the bag off the table before escaping.

‘I remember sitting on a bench and the next thing I woke up in a morgue,’ he told local media.

‘Someone has to pay for this, I have nightmares now about being sliced up by doctors who don’t realise I am alive and want to do an autopsy.’

He now plans to sue the hospital, which has defended its staff, saying: ‘They believed that the man was dead and followed procedure by putting him inside a sealed bag.’

"‘Someone has to pay for this, I have nightmares now about being sliced up by doctors who don’t realise I am alive and want to do an autopsy.’"

Well, they'd figure out he was alive when he started bleeding. How do I always know when stuff like that happens, it didn't happen in the US? I wonder if it has in the last 100 years?

Isn't there a rule about giving the source for any articles? There ought to be. Oi, where's this from Kelly, lass?

Don't they put a heart monitor on you to check nowadays

Why can't he just be happy he actually woke up before being put in the morgue.. Of course he has to sue.
