Melbourne - A man pronounced dead following a car crash by Australian
paramedics who then left the scene has been discharged from hospital
after making a remarkable recovery, a report said on Friday.
Daniel
Huf, aged 30, was trapped upside down in the wreckage of a Porsche in a
Melbourne suburb and was declared dead after being treated at the scene
on 1 April.
He was reportedly left in the car for up to an hour
as police began their investigations until emergency services officials
began removing what they thought was a corpse and discovered a feeble
pulse.
The Age newspaper said Huf left hospital on Thursday.
"We
know that it is a miracle that Daniel can walk, read, speak some
recognisable words, write logical messages and recognise his visitors,"
his father said.
"He is able to perform some basic life skills of helping to shower and dress himself."
Ambulance Victoria has said it was investigating the bungle with the two paramedics involved traumatised by their mistake.
