SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Attorney Geoffrey Fieger said Thursday he has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the city of Southfield and four of its paramedics on behalf of a woman who was declared dead and left at a Detroit funeral home for hours before anyone realized she was still alive.
Fieger said he filed the suit Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The suit names the city and four city employees, Michael Storms, Scott Rickard, Phillip Mulligan and Jake Kroll.
The woman, Timesha Beauchamp, 20, was in a body bag for at least two hours before being found alive by workers at the funeral home on Aug. 23, according to the attorney.
"The State of Michigan has suspended the licenses of the EMS employees involved," Feiger said in a Thursday statement.
"All the telemetry evidence shows that Timesha was alive when EMS declared her dead," he said. " As a result of being declared dead, she was left without oxygen for 4 hours, suffering severe hypoxic brain damage. Timesha has been hospitalized since these events and remains in critical condition. All of this could have been avoided had more care been taken.”

I’m not dead! I think I’ll go for a walk!
That said, this amount of claimed damages is a joke
Dang!!
Breonna Taylor’s kin got robbed./s
“I’m getting better.”
Fieger’s a POS
Feiger also represented Kevorkian, the suicide machine guy. Guess he can’t make up his mind.
Jerry: You know I don’t get that whole suicide machine. There’s no tall buildings where these people live? They can’t wrap their lips around a revolver like a normal person?
Ugh!
I’ve never heard of ems taking a dead person straight to a funeral home!
A 20 year old no less. No autopsy, toxicology? How did they decide what funeral home?
Crappy care. The lawsuit is on point.
Pop (having a heart attack): "Son, did you call the hospital?"
Son: "No pop, I called the undertaker, I done like you always told me, I cut out the middleman."
Pop: "That's my boy!" (keels over dead)

Benny Hill. Comedy gold.
In re the whole suicide machine and assisted suicide thing - the goal is to get doctors involved in killing people.
Unless we are totally paralyzed we are all easily capable of killing ourselves. Anyone can stick their head in the oven. The insistence upon involving others in our deaths is cruel.
No pictures .... she may have looked dead when she was alive .... a lot of addicts look that way ... so hard to tell.
No you’re not you’ll be stone dead in a minute.
“Anybody can stick their head in an oven”.
Thank you, Sylvia Plath.

You got to have a gas oven for that, just saying. A lot of electric ovens out there in the south.
Not sure what I have to do to post pictures on FR, seems to be an account issue. In this case, it looked like the young lady had some birth defects that *may* have contributed to the prognosis. But to not check for a heart beat properly or notice the body temp not going to room temp was totally irresponsible. Even if the system here in MI may have been overloaded with COVID patients.
