US Woman Who Was Pronounced Dead Found Alive At Funeral Home

A woman in Nebraska initially pronounced dead at a nursing home was later found to be alive at a funeral home, authorities have confirmed.

An emergency call was made on Monday by staff of a funeral home in Waverly, near Lincoln, who noticed the 74-year-old was still breathing and performed CPR on her.

Constance Glantz had been pronounced dead by staff at a nearby nursing home about two hours earlier. She was taken to a local hospital. Police are investigating the incident, but say they have not found evidence of criminal intent by the nursing home.

“This is a very unusual case,” said Chief Deputy Ben Houchin from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at a press briefing broadcast by livestream, reports the BBC. “Been doing this 31 years, and nothing like this has ever gotten to this point before.”

A coroner was not sent to the nursing home because Ms Glantz had been placed in hospice care, and the circumstances did not fall within a coroner’s remit, Houchin told reporters. Ms Glantz’s death had been anticipated, he explained.

Wow, what a rollercoaster! Imagine going through such a mix-up. It’s a relief that the funeral home staff caught it in time and performed CPR. Hats off to them! I saw some of you discussing how such a mistake could happen. As someone new here, I thought I'd share something I read about the FTC's Funeral Rule. It’s meant to protect consumers and ensure they're treated fairly. You can check out more details about it on this site https://ventsmagazine.com. I agree with everyone that this is definitely one for the books.
