The shocked students fled outside as the naked woman walked over the grass
It is alleged the students noticed the woman moving after she had supposedly been stripped naked for the class to begin.
She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, climbed off the table and walked out of the morgue, AtinkaNews reports.
The shocked students reportedly fled outside as the naked woman walked over the grass - clearly confused about where she was and how she had ended up there.
It is said none of the worried students offered her help or provided her with clothes.
Instead, one of them grabbed their phone and recorded the bizarre scene as the woman walked in a bemused state across the grass outside the building, with the shocked students seen backing away in horror.
The woman, who has not been identified, had been dropped off at the morgue by her family after she was confirmed dead, according to AtinkaNews.
