The ambulance service operator who confirmed the incident Tuesday told CNN the organization has launched an examination.
“We are investigating the case and we will present our findings once it has been concluded,” Gerrit Bradnick said.
Morgue technicians discovered the woman was breathing at the Carletonville morgue several hours after she was brought in by paramedics from the scene of a fatal car accident in southwest Johannesburg, an ambulance operator told a South African newspaper.
The unnamed woman now recuperating at a hospital in Johannesburg showed no signs of life when found at the scene of the accident in June, he told the newspaper.
Forensic experts at the state’s health department are now investigating the company‚ local authorities told the newspaper.
The man, however, died a few hours after the incident.
Correction: CNN has removed a photo from this story that incorrectly identified a building as the morgue.
