Either Venezuela’s medical experts lack expertise or 33-year old Carlos Camejo’s a real life Claire Bennet:
A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.
Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.
Really!? We would have shat our pants and found religion.

I’m no Venezuelan medical examiner, and perhaps I’ve seen too much CSI but don’t they usually start with what’s referred to as the “Y” incision of the abdomen? But he woke up after they started slicing into his face? I dunno, it sounds apocryphal like waking up in a bathtub full of ice without your kidney.

I don’t have a source for this so take it for what you will, but it is my understanding that the injury on the man’s face (which doesn’t look like a scalpel incision anyway) was from the accident, and the examiners realized he was alive when it started bleeding. It seems the news reports have picked up some confused information.
Anyway, I’m no medical examiner either, but per Wikipedia, the Y incision runs from behind the ears down to the pubic bone.
