WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — They thought he was dead — until he sat up.

Police and a coroner were called to the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania after getting a report a man was floating face up in a lifejacket just below a dam.

Turns out the man had fallen asleep while cooling off a hot summer day. He didn't know what was going on until a dragonfly landed on his nose. That's when he sat up.

He apologized for the confusion.
