His family presumed he was dead when they could not wake him on Saturday night and contacted a private morgue in a rural village in the Eastern Cape.
He spent almost 24 hours inside the morgue, the region's health department spokesman told the Sapa news agency.
The two attendants later returned and called for an ambulance.
The man - whose identity has been withheld - was treated in hospital for dehydration.
Don't you ever worry that while you're asleep someone mistakes you a corpse? My view is that snoring goes a long way to reassuring your loved ones that you are still among the living. Or a worse scenario to waking up in a morgue is someone trying to use a defibrillator on you. Ouch!
