* In the ''Series/{{Castle}}'' episode "Undead Again", a man who happens to be the main suspect in a murder is found dead. Since it's a zombie-themed episode, Castle expects him to rise like a zombie. Pearlmutter assures him that he won't, then jabs him in the forearm. Cue rising like a zombie. [[spoiler:Of course, he wasn't a zombie, but had been dosed with a drug that put him in a fugue-like state and no memory of what happened during that time (in this instance, told to kill the victim of the week by a rival, the man who dosed him).]]

** In the episode "Iceman", the medical examiner Ducky is in autopsy, doing his usual [[TalkingToTheDead "talking to the corpse"]] thing as he's fixing his morning tea. When the tea kettle starts whistling, the "corpse" opens his eyes and sits up. Apparently the man was found nearly frozen, and "a body isn't dead until it's ''warm'' and dead." [[spoiler: The man however, has severe brain damage because of a lack of oxygen when he was frozen, and [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome dies at the end anyway]].]]

* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' opens with this scene. Mind you, the morgue is three storeys high and staffed by, variously, zombies and skeletons in various states of decay and the death-obsessed. Features amnesia, although the character has [[HumanNotepad instructions carved on his back]] and a helpful talking, flying, smartmouthed skull willing to read them out loud to you.

If [[PlayerCharacter The Nameless One]] dies anywhere in the Hive region of Sigil, they'll wake up again on the same metal slab in the Mortuary.
