Waking Up at the Morgue	comment	If you have a character that has a Healing Factor or Resurrective Immortality, a great way for them to discover the power is for them to wake up at the morgue. Can also be done if the character is drugged, Faking the Dead, or if they are presumed to be dead due to being injured, but they remain alive. Either way it can be shocking, as the last place a person wants to be is on cold slab in the morgue. Naturally, there will be much confusion the first time it happens to someone, with or without amnesia and will usually have been completely undressed, and may have to make do without any clothing or equipment as they escape. If they are targeted by The Conspiracy, there may be attempts to kill them. Compare Rise from Your Grave and Waking Up Elsewhere. Can be a form of First-Episode Resurrection. Believe it or not, this is an example of Truth in Television. Rare today (though there is the occasional, erm, incident...), but more common in ages past when medical science wasn't all it is now, and unconscious people were declared dead. The only thing worse than waking up in the morgue, of course, was to be actually Buried Alive, which could also happen from time to time.note The Buried Alive part is virtually impossible today since the dead are usually either embalmed before burial, or cremated. Neither of which you could wake up from. Unless maybe you're a Phoenix. And better not think what would happen if you're slated for dissection, especially by a Creepy Mortician and a Mad Scientist...

Knowing who Ra's is, when you come back later, he's long gone from the morgue.

Waking Up at the Morgue / int_10e9182d	comment	The Tales from the Crypt episode "Abra Cadaver" involves a medical researcher getting some morbid payback on his practical-joking brother. The researcher (whose brother had accidentally maimed him during a long-ago botched prank) has developed a serum which induces a state of total bodily paralysis. He drugs his Jerkass bro with it, then lets his helpless but conscious sibling believe he's died, yet somehow remains aware of what happens to his body. The drug wears off just as the M.E. is leaning over him with the bone saw... and then the jokester has a real heart attack, when the researcher pops into the (faked) "morgue" and the "M.E." reveals that he'd been in on the prank. Nope, the guy doesn't wake up in the for-real morgue.

When he had his heart attack, Foreman called House in to observe so that he could get his answer. The man began screaming seconds after Foreman started slicing him up the middle. In an earlier episode, House brought Kutner and Taub down to the morgue to see the body of a young woman who Kutner diagnosed online under House's name with Taub's help. House berated them and told them their incompetence cost the woman her life. He then said he might still be able to save her, and, to Kutner and Taub's puzzlement, started doing chest compressions on the woman, who then gasped and sat bolt upright. It turned out she was a hooker House hired to teach them a lesson.

Since it's a zombie-themed episode, Castle expects him to rise like a zombie. Pearlmutter assures him that he won't, then jabs him in the forearm. Cue rising like a zombie. Of course, he wasn't a zombie, but had been dosed with a drug that put him in a fugue-like state and no memory of what happened during that time (in this instance, told to kill the victim of the week by a rival, the man who dosed him).

Waking Up at the Morgue / int_31a48eed	comment	The Outer Limits (1995): In "The Inheritors", Jacob Hardy is struck in the head by an apparent meteor fragment and dies instantly as the fragment became embedded in his brain. When his body is brought to the morgue, the pathologist Dr. Ian Michaels and his assistant Ollie Gibb begin to perform an autopsy. Ian's first step is to remove the fragment, which turns out to a metal projectile. A tentacle then emerges from the hole in Jacob's head, much to the horror of Ian and Ollie. Before they can react, Jacob opens his eyes, takes a deep breath and sits upright, having been resurrected by the alien technology. In "Inner Child", Anne Marie Reynolds dies in an emergency room, having lost all of her brain functions, after being struck in the head with a lead pipe by a mugger. Approximately ten or fifteen minutes later, she wakes up in the morgue. It is later determined that she is growing a second brain on her spine, which contains the personality of her conjoined twin Marie, who was absorbed into her during her mother's pregnancy.

He freaks out and starts yelling "I'm not dead! I'm not dead!" They knew, they just couldn't send him to the hospital with a bullet wound and so had their coroner friend treat him.note Not as awful as it sounds, he is a qualified MD. Though he has gotten a bit rusty since he last plyed his trade on living people...

Waking Up at the Morgue / int_43041cff	comment	In the Made-for-TV Movie, the Seventh Doctor is shot by a street gang upon his arrival on Earth. He dies on the operating table thanks to the doctors inadvertently killing him due to his different anatomy. A few hours later, he regenerates into the Eighth Doctor and wakes up inside one of those metal box cooling units in a hospital morgue with amnesia and a few feet of camera probe sticking out of his chest (Eight did not have the most pleasant first day). He proceeds to scare the shit out of the attending orderly by kicking his way out via Barrier-Busting Blow.

Averted in Men at Arms, but only because the Watch didn't actually have a morgue, so Carrot left Angua's body in a bedroom to await her moonrise revival. Avoiding this is the purpose of Granny Weatherwax's "I aten't ded" sign. When she 'borrows' an animal or group of animals her body goes into a deathlike state.

Since Jack is immortal, he lets the monster have as much as he wants from him, causing Abaddon to "choke" on it and die. Jack himself is seen as completely blue and unresponsive. The team assumes that this was too much even for Jack. As they say their good-byes in the Torchwood morgue, only Gwen is left by his side. She kisses him and turns to leave, only to hear a weak "Thank you." Slightly subverted in that he's used to being killed and is not shocked.

Blood loss from her wounds, combined with shock, dropped her into a catatonic coma where her vital signs were too faint to be detected. She woke up in a freezer drawer at the morgue and subsequently suffocated. When she was eventually found, she had broken every bone in her hands pounding on the inside of the drawer to attract attention, but no one had heard. Neilson blames himself for this because he did not check to see if she was dead before they removed her, and it is why he now insists on touching very body at a crime scene.

Waking Up at the Morgue / int_8d81bb26	comment	NCIS: In the episode "Iceman", the medical examiner Ducky is in autopsy, doing his usual "talking to the corpse" thing as he's fixing his morning tea. When the tea kettle starts whistling, the "corpse" opens his eyes and sits up. Apparently the man was found nearly frozen, and "a body isn't dead until it's warm and dead." The man, however, has severe brain damage because of a lack of oxygen when he was frozen and dies at the end anyway. In the premiere of season 3, the corpse on the examining table (it's Kate, who was killed by Ari) starts speaking to Ducky. Unfortunately, the person has been Killed Off for Real and Ducky was just doing his normal Talking to the Dead. It's just that the dead was talking back. In his mind.

Waking Up at the Morgue / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the very aptly named Season 4 episode "Night Terrors", Dr Crusher is working alone in an improvised morgue set up in one of the cargo bays containing bodies recovered from another Starfleet ship that had a fatal run-in with a Negative Space Wedgie, and turns around to see every single shrouded body sitting up on their gurneys. It turns out to be a hallucination, the cause of which is directly related to how the other starship's crew died.
