Turkish morgue ready for resurrection

ISTANBUL (AFP) - A local town council in central Turkey has built a morgue with a warning system in case dead bodies come back to life, Anatolia news agency reported Wednesday. The municipality of Malatya province has equipped its new mortuary with refrigerators sensitive to movement inside, Anatolia said. The refrigerator can sense even the slightest movement of the body inside and gives out an alarm, Anatolia quoted Akif Kayadurmus, the head of cemeteries, as saying. Kayadurmus said the refrigerator doors were also kitted out with a special system of clip that automatically opened in case of contact. If the patient, proclaimed dead by doctors, awakens from a state of unconsciousness, then we consider each and every possibility, he said.
