Mortuary is based upon a real incident which happened in the Kottayam Medical College in the year 1977. There was a bet between two medical students to nab a cigarette from a dead body kept in a mortuary at 12 o'clock midnight. When one of the students came to take the cigarette, the dead body swallowed the cigarette and the student was killed due to the shock. The real culprit was the other student who was present in the mortuary lying in between the dead bodies. Police arrested the other student responsible for the death.[1][2]
