  1. That’s what embalming is for. If they aren’t dead they will be.

  2. Oh my God, I've heard of this happening but never seen a report. I hope the family has a deep talk with someone! How frightening!

  3. I watched a history program on television years ago. They said this is the other reason embalming became a thing. If you weren't gone yet….. after draining you, and pumping your circulatory system full of that stuff, you most definitely would be! 👍 Just imagine waking up in a coffin under six feet of dirt.😳

  4. You mean someone actually knew what a woman is.🤣

  5. Somehow the news caught wind of this one incident but it may happen a whole lot more than is reported. 🤔

  6. Please take care of your parents…dont send to the nursing home… I feel bad those elderly people that cant do or cannot talk what they are having while inside of those buildings.

  7. Jesus i can’t imagine finding a person breathing in a funeral home….
    100 bucks says the person’s first thought was zombie

  8. “I thought You were Dead?!”
    “I got better?”
    Imagine being one of the few people in the world that can answer a question like that almost literally and factually😂

  9. This probably is on the paramedics who showed up. Someone doesn't know what their doing. nursing staff does not pronounce.

  10. She was just "Mostly Dead"

  11. >>>>>>>> Increase Your Satisfaction By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC

  12. Humans are basically disappointing .

  13. Really alert attentive staff at the nursing home. I'll put my parents in there.

  14. She was to much work even medicated so they gave her something to usher her into a comatose state expecting it to off her permanently possibly

  15. Headline should read “rich woman found alive at funeral home”.

  16. Isn't there some sort of machine they could hook up to check for a pulse and confirmation? Every medical facility should have one. Personally I think it can be easy to miss a pulse

  17. The nursing home will get lawsuit!!!

  18. Hmm.. Same thing happened to Jesus Christ. Except he rode home in a glowing orb.

  19. Yeah Right! "Not in a position to comment at this time."
    #FAKE NEWS is better than NO NEWS

  20. People don’t believe in Miracle or in God, that’s why they are trying to blame the nursing home. She could have been dead at the nursing home, in fact, they must have taken her vital signs before pronouncing dead.

  21. Sure they don't want to commit

  22. She said; I’ll be back.😂

  23. She said; I’ll be back.😂

  24. 😂😂😂😂😂😂alive

  25. 😵‍💫😮🫢

  26. YIKES!
    But give it or take, in 5 years she'll be right back.

  27. I guess she wasn't embalmed yet

  28. But is she awake and aware? Doesn’t mean much if there’s nothing going on but a pulse.

  29. Nursing homes are horrible and they do not care for patients

  30. Why can’t news stations just tell a story without spending several minutes on some bystanders opinion which is the same opinion as everyone else watching it.

  31. Reminds me of the line in the Wizard of Oz, “she’s not only merely dead, she’s really quite sincerely dead”.
    Except, you know, not in this case.

  32. These northerners talk funny.

  33. This is happening a lot! Sounds like a global Damar Hamlin situation to me!🤔

  34. Somebody is in deep DOO DOO!🤐🤨🤔

  35. Who is responsible for this freak show?
