Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

This guy,

no wait,

forget it  :(

"A man, who was pronounced dead in hospital, was later found to be very much alive when mortuary staff came to collect him from what they thought was his deathbed.

Staff had declared the man dead
His family had been informed that he had died and were grieving before the mistake was noticed.

The unnamed disabled man in his 30s has since been discharged and returned home.

His death was mistakenly certified in Dublin's Mater hospital on Easter Sunday – a date closely associated with miraculous resurrections although in this case the patient did not die in the first place.

Today a spokesman for the Mater, which was established by the Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy in 1861, confirmed that the incident took place.

advertisementWhile management have set up an inquiry to establish how the error happened.

"This incident has occurred and it is under internal investigation at the moment," a spokesman said.

It is understood ward staff declared the man dead and contacted morticians so that the body could be collected.

The man's family were contacted around the same time and informed of their supposed loss.

A source close to the hospital told the Irish Times: "This man certainly was pronounced dead and, some time later, I understand he was very much alive."

Another source said: "Relatives were informed that this man had died, and when a guy from the morgue came up to collect his body, he said he wasn't dead at all."

He added: "Needless to say, the hospital is very perturbed at what happened."
Ask me holy bollix

Any truth in the rumour that he's buried in Killarney?
