According to Polish news sources the man, named only as Kamil, had been drinking vodka in a tavern in the small town of Kamienna Gora, near Wroclaw, when he fell ill and collapsed outside.

The guard is reported to have said: “I was sure it was a burglary, young people sometimes break into the morgue, but the sounds came from the refrigerators.
“With shaking hands, I opened one of the doors, and there I found a naked corpse, who asked me for a blanket.”
Kamil was then apparently given a check-up then his belongings were returned and he went home – via the pub.
