Family demand release of man found snoring on autopsy table after being pronounced dead

[Xipe Totec]

The family of a Spanish prisoner who was pronounced dead by three doctors before waking up as he was being prepared for autopsy have demanded he immediately be released from jail.

Gonzalo Montoya Jimenez, 29, began snoring on an autopsy table in a morgue in Asturias four hours after his death was certified at a local prison on Sunday morning. The man - whose body had already been marked up for the procedure - was on Tuesday awake and recovering in hospital as authorities opened investigations into the mysterious case.

The prisoner was discovered in his cell by guards at around 8am on Sunday, seated in a chair, blue, and showing no signs of life, according to officials. His death was certified first by the doctor on the overnight shift, then a second on duty that morning, and finally by a forensic specialist before he was transported to the morgue.

My thoughts,

He's already been pronounced dead, so his sentence has been served, however long it may have been.

1. Damn that must have been a snootful of Sherry! Hope the tapas were good.

The phrase, “dead to the world,” springs to mind.
Damn.

How does it translate?

5. A little Gallego, from Galicia, Spain - Next principality to the west.

They have a reputation in Spain.

Like Texas Aggies in Texas, or Polaks in the North East.
