Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the eventsHospital probably had an unlisted phone number so the Great Reuters just printed the story anyway.
Seems unlikely they would rush an autopsy after a car crash. Would they start with the face? Hey, I've seen those TV shows; always start with the chest.
Showed a scar as proof. But HE WAS in a bad car accident.
Send this to all your friends. LOL
His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.
The article doesn't say whether she was sad, or happy, to find her husband in the corridor.

He was in "unbearable pain." Yeah, most people are after a bad car crash.

Here's the original story from the cited newspaper - El Universal [buscador.eluniversal.com] - complete with pic of the "dead man" holding what is purported to be the autopsy documentation...
Anyone understand Spanish? :-)

Would they start with the face?
The eyes. They were going to remove them for transplant.
OK are you feeling even more queasy now?! ;)

That makes for a better urban legend. Not an autopsy (which would kill him quickly) but an eye transplant.
HE WAKES UP AND BOTH EYES ARE GONE, bought by famous computer magnate who is secretly going blind.

The forensic doctors where ready to get to work with a saw in their hands and their eyes on their victim (sic).Before opening the man's chest, the doctor noticed a vital reaction in one of the bodyparts. After the shock of noticing how the dead guy was looking at her, she raised the alarm and called the 'quirófano and they resusitated him.
Apparantly the traffic police and CP people just loaded his body on a stretcher and without looking too closely pronounced him dead. They immediately notified his wife!
The forenses doctors arranged themselves to initiate their work with the mountain range in the hand and the eyes put on the body of the victim. Before opening the chest of the man, the doctor noticed that she had had a vital reaction in a member of his body. After the scare to see how the dead watched it, she made the call of alert so that they transferred it to the operating room and they revived it
