South Africa: 'Dead man' wakes up inside morgue

A 50-year-old South African man woke up inside a mortuary over the weekend and screamed to be let out - scaring away attendants who thought he was a ghost.

His family presumed he was dead when they could not wake him on Saturday night and contacted a private morgue in a rural village in the Eastern Cape.

He spent almost 24 hours inside the morgue, the region's health department spokesman told the Sapa news agency.

The two attendants later returned and called for an ambulance.

The man - whose identity has been withheld - was treated in hospital for dehydration.

"Doctors put him under observation and concluded he was stable," Eastern Cape health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said.

"He did not need further treatment."

Mr Kupelo said the man woke up at 1700 local time (1500 GMT) on Sunday, demanding to be let out of the chilly morgue in Libode village, frightening the attendants on duty.

"At first the men ran for their lives," said Mr Kupelo.

Officials have urged the public to contact doctors or the emergency services so they can they can pronounce someone dead before calling an undertaker.

"You begin to ask yourself how many other people have died like that in a morgue," said Mr Kupelo.

"We need to [get] the message across to all South Africans that it is very wrong for them to conclude on their own that a person has died," he said

Amy Winehouse was once quoted as saying she had no intention of giving up drugs, and intended to 'die young and leave a pretty corpse.'

Turns out she was half right.

Apparently Elton John is doing a rendition at her funeral.

Sources say he's going to sing "Candle under the spoon."

Bit of reach, but it kind of works.

Sobriety killed Amy Winehouse? Singer's father claims she died of alcohol withdrawal

Five days after Amy Winehouse's sudden death, what exactly killed the Grammy-winning singer is still being determined. Those closest to her wouldn't dispute the fact that the vocalist succumbed to the alcohol and drug addiction that marred her final years. But they also don't expect to find evidence of drugs or alcohol in the 27-year-old's system, when the results of her final toxicology tests are completed.

Winehouse had quit drinking, cold turkey, just before her death. So said the singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, during his eulogy to Amy, The Sun reports. The sudden shock of sobriety proved fatal, Mitch claims, causing his daughter to suffer symptoms of severe alcohol withdrawal which led to her death.

An unnamed friend, who was at Winehouse's funeral service, shared the details of Mitch's eulogy with The Sun. "He said doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid bingeing at all costs," said the source. "Amy told him she couldn't do that. It was all or nothing, and she gave up completely."

The source added: "Abstinence gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death."

Severe alcohol withdrawal can lead to symptoms such as hallucinations, fever and seizures, but it should be noted that Winehouse's cause of death has yet to be determined. As per past reports, an inconclusive post-mortem was held Monday; results of histology and toxicology tests are still forthcoming.

And until those tests are concluded, there's no shortage of speculation on Winehouse's cause of death.

The Sun notes that Mitch denied one report of recent binge-drinking in his eulogy - addressing stories that Winehouse had been spotted at the iTunes Festival, downing Red Bull and gin, three days before her death.

The day before her lifeless body was discovered, those close to Winehouse claim she was completely sober. The singer visited her boyfriend, director Reg Traviss. The Sun reports that neither thought Winehouse had been drinking. The singer also visited her doctor, and received a clean bill of health, The Sun reports.

A strong possibility. When I was still working addictions, the golden rule for coming off booze was to withdraw slowly and gradually and reduce your alcohol intake day by day. If this is the COD then it will be very very ironic.

If a Married Lesbian Couple Saves 40 Teens from the Norway Massacre and No One Writes About it, Did it Really Happen?

By this point, most of you have heard about the tragedy in Norway a few weeks ago when a Christian Fundamentalist murdered 77 people and injured another 96. The story has been well-covered by International media and the mainstream press here in the US.

What you probably have not heard about is the married lesbian couple who rescued 40 teenagers during and after the bloody event. Several blogs and gay and lesbian publications are now picking up the story, but the heavy hitters who usually kill for hero stories like this, have remained silent.

The Finnish capital city’s largest daily newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, published this account (translated from Finnish):

Hege Dalen and her spouse, Toril Hansen were near Utöyan having dinner on the opposite shore across from the ill-fated campsite, when they began to hear gunfire and screaming on the island.

“We were eating. Then shooting and then the awful screaming. We saw how the young people ran in panic into the lake,†says Dale to HS in an interview.

The couple immediately took action and pushed the boat into Lake Tyrifjorden.

Dalen and Hansen drove the boat to the island, picked up from the water victims in shock in, the young and wounded, and transported them to the opposite shore to the mainland. Between runs they saw that the bullets had hit the right side of the boat.

Since there were so many and not all fit at once aboard, they returned to the island four times.

They were able to rescue 40 young people from the clutches of the killer.

“We did not sleep last night at all. Today, we have been together and talked about the events,†Dalen said.
