He Woke Up Inside His Own Dead Body

In 1962, a man named David Bowers was declared dead after a devastating car accident. But hours later, during the autopsy, something went horribly wrong: his eyes opened. He cried.

Doctors claimed it was a postmortem spasm. But David wasn’t dead. Trapped in full consciousness, paralyzed and voiceless, he lived through every second of what came next — incisions, tubes, electric shocks.

Inside his mind, he screamed.
