A German doctor is in hot water after a patient he declared dead woke up a few hours later inside a refrigerated room at a funeral home. 

The doctor declared the 92-year-old woman dead after an employee at a nursing home found her without a pulse, according to the New York Daily News

The woman woke up in the funeral and reportedly let out a scream which attracted the attention of an employee there. We're assuming that person screamed even louder than the "dead" lady. The woman went home, but died two days later. 

The doctor has been charged with negligent bodily harm, and could go to prison if he's convicted.

As weird as it is, it's far from the first time something like this has happened. In 2014, a Mississippi man was discovered alive inside a body bag. In 2012, an Egyptian guy made it all the way to his own funeral before waking up.
