You’d think that step 1 in performing an autopsy would be: Check for a pulse. You know — just in case.
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.

Prolly a damned black bear. They can’t be trusted. Shiftless, thieving black bears. If it had been a polar bear,it wouldn’t even had made the news.
The aggressive bear that was killed a week ago by an Amish Road homeowner after the animal charged and then attempted to pull out a window air conditioner has tested positive for rabies, a Garrett County health official said Tuesday.
“We sent the head to our health and mental hygiene lab in Baltimore on Thursday and got the results Friday,” said Steve Sherrard, director of environmental health for the county’s health department.
At 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 29, the homeowners had heard a commotion outside and saw a bear attempting to get at two penned pygmy goats. When the family hollered from its main doorway at the bear, it wheeled and charged the house.
“At first it was pushing on the door and I was holding onto the handle from inside,” said Charlotte Stanton. “Mike was going to the gun room to get a gun,” she said of her husband.
At that point, Charlotte said the bear left the door and attempted to pull an air-conditioning unit out of a window.
“I was pulling from inside and the bear was pulling on it from outside when Mike got there with the gun,” Charlotte added. “There was just enough room to stick out the gun barrel beside the air conditioner, but you couldn’t aim it. He just stuck it out there and shot and it flattened the bear.”
The No. 4 shotgun pellets struck the bear in the head and neck, authorities reported. The bear was eventually put down by a Natural Resources Police officer who arrived at the home 2.7 miles south of U.S. Route 40 about 30 minutes after the 911 call was transferred to state police.

Send him to the Sooner fan bar in Oklahoma wearing a Texas tee shirt. They’ll rip his balls off for him.
The Madison Township man accused of having sex with two minor girls is still in jail after failing to post a $75,000 bond.

I’m not surpised so many fans of both schools never actually attended the colleges they root for. I’d consider it amazing if one of them even made it past third grade.
The shocking case has set off a raging debate in this football-crazed region about the extreme passions behind a bitter rivalry. Some legal observers have even questioned whether this case could ever truly have an impartial jury.
“I’ve actually heard callers on talk radio say that this guy deserved what he got for wearing a Texas T-shirt into a bar in the middle of Sooner country,” said Irven Box, an attorney in this city 20 miles from Oklahoma’s campus in Norman.
According to police, 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas walked into Henry Hudson’s Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt and quickly became the focus of football “trash talk” from another regular, 53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett.
Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn’t let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries.
“He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body,” said Thomas’ attorney, Carl Hughes. “He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse.”
It took more than 60 stitches to close the wound, and police interviewed Thomas at a nearby hospital emergency room.

“They killed everybody here except my sister, my brother and me,” he told dispatchers. “There was a guy with a pistol or some kind of gun and shot my mother and my grandma.”
When he was then transfered to Kentucky State Police, the child said the pair had been shot. The dispatcher asked if they went to a doctor. When the child said no, the dispatcher asked where they were.
“They’re dead in my house,” the 9-year-old said. “There’s blood splattered everywhere.”
Officials said Burke, the children’s mother, was Comer’s former daughter-in-law. Investigators said there was no evidence of forced entry or domestic violence and they are searching for suspects who might have invaded the home and killed the women.
Police said the children have been placed in counseling.

I had a friend who tried to suicide by jumping behind a train. She
was dyslexic.
A coroner has called for “insult chatrooms” to be banned after a man took his own life while being watched by others on a web cam.
A verdict of suicide was returned on Kevin Whitrick, 42, of Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, who died in March.
The court heard he was using Paltalk, which urged users to insult each other, when he said he wanted to kill himself.
He hanged himself while some internet users urged him on and others tried to stop him, coroner Michael Gwynne heard.
‘Well-liked’
The coroner was told Mr Whitrick had been using a “friendly insult” forum at the time of his death.

A dollar saved is a dollar earned.
A man trying to enter a rock concert at a fair impaled his thigh on a wrought-iron fence and underwent surgery to have a two-foot section of fence removed from his leg.
Aaron C. Fry, 19, of Washington Borough, Lancaster County, used both hands to steady himself atop the fence, 12 feet in the air, for 45 minutes Wednesday evening, until crews working on ladder trucks and a fork lift could cut the fence and lower him to the ground.
“He had to actually try to hold himself up there,” said John Kottmyer, assistant chief of York’s city fire and rescue service.
Rescuers could not remove Fry from the fence because doing so could have risked serious blood loss or death, said David Nichols, chief of the West Manchester Township Fire Department.
“Medical protocol is you don’t … remove an impalement because it may have severed an artery or nicked an artery and it could be holding that back that blood,” Nichols said.

Better if she had got shitface drunk, I suppose, & forgot about the kid & then fell asleep in the bathtub until the next morning. Like most kids, they get cocked and then cock while baby sitting.
A 15-year-old Nassau County girl who authorities say posted a picture on the Internet of her smoking marijuana while baby-sitting was arrested and charged with felony child abuse, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to the arrest report, the teenage girl — who is not being named because of her age — told investigators, “she had been smoking a joint with the child while baby-sitting” at her Yulee home earlier this month, according to WJXT-TV.
She also told detectives she took a picture of it and posted it on her personal MySpace.com page.

How sweet…
When a Coney Island lifeguard spied a shark near an upset group of swimmers, he did what he thought was right: He rescued the fish.
Marisu Mironescu, 39, said he was prompted to action Monday after seeing about 75 to 100 people circling the 2-foot sand shark off the beach and “bugging out.”
“They were holding onto it and some people were actually hitting him, smacking his face,” said Mironescu. “Well, I wasn’t going to let them hurt the poor thing.”
He grabbed the largely harmless shark in his arms and carried it, backstroking out to sea, where he let it go. “He was making believe like he’s dead, then he wriggled his whole body and tried to bite me,” Mironescu said.
“We had a little bit of a punctuation mark at the end of summer with ‘Jaws’ junior showing up and frightening people,” said Adrian Benepe, the city Parks Commissioner.
