There were a few surprises for the University of Washington’s Class of 1957 when they opened a time capsule sealed 50 years ago.

Among audiotapes and copies of the yearbook and school newspaper were 1980s-era porn, a condom and some dirty underwear. Alumni opened the capsule earlier this week in preparation for a public unveiling Saturday during a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the university’s communications program. The capsule had been placed in an interior wall of the then-new Communications Building in 1957.

The capsule is being replaced by another created by a student-faculty team.

“The good news is that all the things that were in there are still there,” said Jerry Baldasty, chairman of the Department of Communication. “The interesting news is that some other things were added.”

A disabled man pronounced dead by medics in an Irish hospital was later found to be very much alive by staff from the morgue, the hospital said today.

The patient, in his 30s, had been in the Mater Hospital, Dublin, for treatment on Easter Sunday when ward staff mistakenly certified his death.

But by the time the error was spotted his family had already been informed and were grieving for their loss.

A spokesman for the Mater confirmed what had happened and management have set up an inquiry to establish how medics made such a huge blunder.

It is understood ward staff declared the man dead on Easter Sunday and contacted morticians that a body had to be collected.

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

The error was then discovered when staff from the morgue arrived on the ward to take the body away and discovered that the patient was in fact alive.

It is understood that he has since been discharged from the hospital and has gone home.
