An 80-year old woman, Maame Afua Ampomah has just become the luckiest woman on earth after she woke up at a mortuary.
Sampson Tuffour, a cleaner at Stewart Hospital at Yaw Kwei at Asante Akyem in the Ashanti Region was the one who was took the woman to the mortuary.
According to Tuffour, whenever they bring a dead body to the hospital at night, he takes the body to the mortuary and informs the “mortuary men” about it when they come to work in the following day “so that they can work on the body.”
“About four days ago,” he said, “I was told a body has been brought to the hospital so I should take it to the mortuary.
“The woman was wearing Kaba so I decided to cut it and undress her. When I got close to her, she opened her eyes and started looking at me.”
Maame Afua Ampomah, according to reports gathered did not die at the hospital. Her family took her supposed “dead body” to the hospital.
Tuffour indicated he also stood there and looked at the woman to see what she will do.
“After a few seconds, I saw that she was breathing well and I went to inform the doctors that the woman they brought is not dead.”
“They told me I was lying so I took some people to go and see the woman who was still breathing.”
Maame Afua Ampomah is now doing well after the doctors at the hospital examined her although the doctors have not been able to indicate what happened to her before she was pronounced dead.
Though she has not been able to speak, the 80-year old woman is able to eat soup and is expected to regain her full strength soon.
