Death of an Indian man rescued from a mortuary freezer

A 74-year-old Indian man who was mistakenly declared dead in the state of Tamil Nadu and placed in a mortuary freezer has died just days after being rescued.

Mr Balasubramaniam was pronounced dead at the hospital on Monday. It is unclear what went wrong with him.

He was kept in the freezer until the next day when the guards who had come to collect his body for the funeral saw that he was trembling and realized he was alive.

He was then taken to another hospital but lost his battle for survival on Friday.

Dr. Balajinath, dean of the government hospital in the southern city of Salem, said the patient was admitted to the hospital in a state of drowsiness after being rescued and died of lung-related problems.

He told BBC Tamil that it was not clear exactly how many hours Mr Balasubramaniam spent in the freezer.

After he was pronounced dead by a doctor at a private hospital on Monday, his family took his body home and called a local guarantor to send him to the freezer.

They then informed relatives that they would have a funeral on Tuesday.

The funeral company said he was told by Mr. Balasubramaniam's brother that he had "a doctor's signed letter regarding his death".

Salem police chief Senthil Kumar said the family was unable to prepare a medical certificate for the death of Mr Balasubramaniam.

The man kept the 'mother's stable body' for years

Stabilized by dead Indian Guru devotees

They have filed a case against the family for "showing reckless behavior or negligence to endanger human life".

The family members claim that he also suffered from a neurological problem, the police chief said.

Mr. Balasubramaniam lived with his wife, two daughters and his brother.

The BBC has tried to contact the private hospital and the family, but there has been no comment, nor has there been a word from a doctor who initially pronounced the patient dead.
