CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.

Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.

THAT right there is the reason I have a fear of dead people and animals. You never know they are dead, they could just be fooling you. I didn't do too well as a CNA because of that. They wanted me to clean someone up that had just passed and I couldn't do it.

When I die, no autopsy. I'm an organ donor, but after that, nothing. No autopsy, no funeral, no article in the newspaper, nuthin. Just throw my ass in a pine box and bury it.

Thats what one of my friends say. She says my last wishes make it sound a lot like i want someone to kill me and dump me ... actually... now that I think on it... that kinda worries me...

Cardboard is cheaper than pine. . .

I like pine though.

Bury me in granite or marble... laid to rest under a beautiful tree out in a meadow with green pastures and a whisping little creek to break-up the horizon....

Or..

Plastic will do- I'll be dead, who cares?

Im going to be cremated. I always loved bbq'ing and figured it would be appropriate...plus its hella cheaper.
