The family of a 45-year-old Indian man got the shock of their lives. The man who was declared dead after being involved in a road accident was discovered to be still alive after spending the night in the morgue freezer.&nbsp;

Srikesh Kumar was taken to a clinic in critical condition after being hit by a motorbike in Moradabad, east of the Indian capital, New Delhi.&nbsp;

He was transported to a private medical facility where a doctor declared him dead upon arrival. Following this, he was transported to a government hospital for a post-mortem on Friday.

"The emergency medical officer examined him. He did not find any signs of life and hence declared him dead," said Rajendra Kumar, the hospital's medical superintendent.

Police were informed, and his body was placed in the morgue freezer until his family arrived six hours later, according to the doctor.&nbsp;

One of Kumar's relatives noticed that he was moving. In a video that went viral, she is heard saying, something along the lines of 'He's not dead. How did this happen? Look, he's breathing.'
