This seems a little fishy to me. Anyone know anything?

The article said the guy was breathing. Do zombies breath?

That's just a cover up. It's TOTALLY zombies.

Definitely zombies. Do they breathe? That's an interesting question. My theory is that they do, but it isn't necessary to their survival, it's just a reflex type thing.

Gale Street Mortuary Unit Commander Thegran Moodley said: "The man had been involved in a car accident somewhere in the Umbumbulu area at the weekend. After the paramedics had certified him dead, my staff were called in to fetch the body."


do zombies usually re-animate after car crashes...? i mean, bloody death not involving contact with other zombies doesnt seem like the leading cause of zombification.

The corpse may have been exposed to the zombifying catalyst post mortem.

Or it could have been a zombie when it was hit. Assuming it wasn't driving or wounded in the head it could have just been stunned for a while.

Not a zombie. Doctors aren't usually accurate when they declare someone dead. Ever hear the term "Clinically dead"? That's basically when your heart stops and you stop breathing. Chances are you're barely alive when you're embalmed. And a zombie doesn't have the mental capacity to drive a car.

Maybe he was fleeing from the laboratory where the guards wanted to shoot him before he turned?

If the man's alive right now, then he's sure as shit not a zombie. There's been hundreds of instances when people's life returned to them a few hours after they were declared dead, and they lived normal lives that Didn't involve flesh eating or shambling around mindlessly.

They're just SAYING he's alive for damage control. He's a zombie.

That's what I meant by "assuming he wasn't driving." The article didn't say whether or not he was driving, and I said that to cover my tracks if he was.
