Kind of ironic he has a tattoo of the Grim Reaper on his arm. :-)

They cut your face first in an autopsy??????? I thought they did the 'Y' incision first. Well, I guess the guy is pretty lucky to be alive.

Ya, that's the weird part of the story. And why down there on his lip/jaw? I thought perhaps the scar would be across his forehead so they could saw his skull to get at his brain.

I've been in on a number of autopsies, and I don't recall cutting there in any of them.

They knew something was wrong when he started to bleed...wonder how they might of reacted if he had jumped up screaming!?! They would be looking for a clean pair of fruit of the looms for sure!

But imagine the wife surprise. Going in to identify her dead spouse's body only to find him alive and well!

I'm not sure that it's actually such a bad day. Waking up at one's own autopsy is preferable, in my book, to not waking up at all.

Pity he's not American, he could sue for a bundle and have a good rest-of-his-life. I don't think it's that easy down there though...

Reminds me of the winner of "world's funniest joke":

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground.

He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help.

First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"

That story has to be bogus to some major degree. The part about the hospital not being available for comment leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm pretty sure when they say so-and-so was not immediately available it means "we called 5 minutes before the deadline and got voicemail"...

Or that hospital admin had a gag on their people while they figured out the facts and what to tell the press. This would be SOP.

This is a variation of the original joke by Spike Milligan, written in the early 1950s.
