US: 20-Yr-Old Woman Found Breathing At Funeral Home After Being Declared Dead

Residents of Detroit (United States), were on Tuesday thrown into panic, after a 20-year-old woman believed to have died was found breathing at a funeral home.

The Southfield Fire Department in a statement said paramedics responded to a call for an unresponsive female Sunday morning.

When paramedics arrived on the scene, they found the woman to not be breathing.

The paramedics performed CPR and other life saving methods for 30 minutes, the statement said.

After their efforts, “given medical readings and the condition of the patient, it was determined at that time that she did not have signs of life.”

Authorities say per standard operating procedure in a situation where foul play is not suspected, the medical examiner’s office was contacted and given the medical data.

The full statement reads:
