APC news agency journalist has become an eyewitness of surprising and at the same time frightening events. The man who was supposed to have died from Ebola virus awaked after almost being buried, in Monrovia, Liberia. The unbelievable accident took place when the journalist together with his producer saw a burial team working along the roadway surrounded by crowds of angry locals. They watched as the burial team suited up and approached the body lying against a wall.
They sprayed it down with bleach and moved it to a black, plastic
sheet and began to wrap it up. When suddenly the dead man moved his arm
and someone yelled, “He’s alive!” The man was immediately unwrapped and
put back on the ground. Although the man was alive he looked like he
would only last a few more hours. After awhile an ambulance pulled up
and a separate team of health workers loaded him into the back. The
crowd went wild cheering.
A community leader said they had been trying to get help for the dead
man for days, but no ambulance ever came. And only when the man died, a
burial team came in an hour. “We couldn’t get him help when he was
alive. They only come when you die,” a community leader said.
