Emergency medical technicians had declared 29-year-old Larry D. Green dead almost two hours earlier, after he was hit by a car.

Medical examiner J.B. Perdue was called to the accident scene Monday but did not examine Green then. Later, he was documenting Green’s injuries when he noticed the man was breathing.

“I had to look twice myself just to make sure it was there, that’s how subtle it was,” Perdue said.

Green, 29, was taken to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, where he was in critical condition Wednesday.

Several members of the Franklin County emergency medical service have been suspended pending an investigation, said Darnell Batton, the county attorney.

I heard about that in "Live With Regis and Kelly" an hour ago, and I'm still shocked.

If I were the "dead" man I would so sue.

Guess no one taught those paramedics to find a pulse, no matter how shallow.

This has been all over the news in NC today......I think it's really sad

for the family, the guy, the guy in the morgue who found him, and the paramedics (even though it's their fault and they got what they deserved)
