Shock as teen is found sitting outside mortuary 8 days after he was declared dead from drowning (video)

“I now put on my phone’s torch light and pointed at him, that is when I discovered that it was the young man who died last Sunday. I went inside to check if truly he was the one and I discovered that he was not where we had embalmed and left him. All those inside were naked but he was outside, eyes closed, but he was smiling,” Louis Mbella narrated.

Born in 2006, 17-year-old Poupog Kevin is said to have murmured the words, “Anne you promised me,” according to an eye witness at the scene.

However, the deceased boy’s mother, Catherine Kouete, refused to believe the story and she asked how her dead son could move or speak after spending one week in the mortuary.

“How can a dead body move like that and sit on a chair? It doesn’t sound well to me. I think it is a setup. I don’t know… we have never seen this,” the grieving mother told reporters.

But the Chief Mortician said this is not the first time they have seen strange things happen to bodies under their care. He said they sometimes discover bodies have moved from the positions where they were left.

The clothes, underwear, and socks worn by Poupog Kevin after he was found outside have been set on fire and his body returned to the mortuary after traditional rites were performed in the presence of his family.
