In the US state of Detroit, doctors were urgently dispatched to a funeral home after the body of a woman who had earlier been declared dead began to show signs of life. A true nightmare.
Woman was found alive after being declared dead
20-year-old Timesha Beauchamp, who suffered severe brain damage at birth, suffered a heart attack last Sunday morning. Various sources reported.
Her family immediately called emergency services, and when doctors arrived on the scene, they administered cardiac resuscitation.
“Given the patient’s medical condition and after a thorough medical examination, the woman showed no signs of life,” a report states.
After 30 minutes of resuscitation, the 20-year-old woman was declared dead over the phone by an emergency doctor. Reported by People.
After the medical examination, the body was released to her family.
The woman’s body was then taken to a funeral home. It was around noon. It was there that the funeral home staff discovered that the woman was still alive.
“They were going to start embalming her body, incredibly shocking, fortunately she still had her eyes open. They would then drain her blood,” attorney Geoffrey Fieger said.
Timesha is now on a ventilator at Sinai Grace Hospital and is in critical condition.
“It’s one of the worst nightmares to put a living person in a body bag and drive them to a funeral home. It’s exactly what happened. The staff opened the body bag and saw that she was still alive. Her eyes were open,” says Fieger to WXYZ.
Fieger says he will now investigate how he can sue the police and medical staff. Timesha should not be fighting for her life now if she had been admitted to the hospital immediately instead of being put in a body bag for 3 hours.
Our biggest concern is that she survives this, and that she is healthy,” Fieger tells ABC. “Doctors cannot yet give a prognosis.”
Although her current condition is still unclear, we hope that she can fully recover. This must be terrible for her family.
I pray that they all come out of this okay. Thank God this woman was saved in time.
