Bodybag Trick	comment	Related to Playing Possum and Trojan Horse, this is when a character hides in a bodybag or a coffin and is wheeled into a hospital or other facility, then gets out and does his/her mission. A Sub-Trope — and a subversion — of Zipping Up the Bodybag. If used as a means of escape, it may end with the character being Buried Alive — but not for long. See also Coffin Contraband and Saved by the Coffin.

He does this by getting a Tap on the Head from Dave, then sent to the morgue as a John Doe, where he gets up on the slab and scares the living daylights out of the morticians. Notably, if you tilt your head with the right analog stick, you'll get unique dialogue from the doctors about how his corpse is "reanimating", while if you wait too long to get up, the doctors will start cutting you open and kill you for real.
