In the township of Sebokeng, south of Johannesburg, South Africa, a man who was declared dead after a traffic accident spent two days in a metal box in a mortuary before his cries alerted workers. But Sipho William Mdletshe, 24, became heartbroken because his fiance rejected him, believing him to be a zombie. She refused to believe his story and told nurses at the hospital where she recuperated that he returned from the dead to haunt her.
