This was a few years ago in Michigan:

And now here's this week, in New York:

Only three hours after she was pronounced dead, an 82-year-old woman was found to be breathing at a New York funeral home where she had been transported, police said. ...
The unnamed woman from Long Island, N.Y., was declared dead at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday at the Water's Edge Rehab and Nursing Center, according to Suffolk County police. She was transferred to OB Davis Funeral Homes in Miller Place, N.Y., at 1:30 p.m.
She was discovered breathing at 2:09 p.m., police said.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Three mistaken declarations-of-death, in three states, over three years. Is that really that big of a deal?"
I mean, I don't know. It feels like a pretty big deal to me.
If you'd asked me to guess how often this sort of thing happens nowadays, I would have pretty confidently said, "More or less never." Don't they have like machines that can detect if you're dead or not?
Isn't that a standard part of emergency medical care nowadays?
She came alive suddenly
Is she a Democrat?
Time to start installing those coffin bells of yore.
I wonder how many people have been tossed in the oven alive. My greatest fear.
Maybe it's time to bring back the caskets from the late 1800s with a bell above ground that can be rung from the casket - just in case.
That’s why autopsies are done.
She will vote Democrat after she dies.
I was hibernating for crying out loud! Don’t you guys take a pulse?
Sounds like people are not dying fast enough for the medical community to they are pushing the envelop and getting rid of undesirables hoping that when the funeral home prepares the body, that will finish them off.
And likely counting on them to not check if the person is alive or not.
That is where the expression “saved by the bell” came fom.
DId she arise after sunset? Like Drac’s daughter?
Good thing she did not donate her organs , it would have been an unreported vivisection.
organ harvesting operation?
fresh is best.
“...a bell above ground that can be rung from the casket - just in case.”
Caskets with built-in WiFi/Bluetooth.
One of my mom’s relatives had a cement slab installed over his wife’s grave...just in case.
Hahahaha love that one!
“That is where the expression “saved by the bell” came fom.”
Pretty sure that is a boxing term champ.
The round ending bell sounds as the referee is still making the 10 count, so the boxer on the floor was saved by the bell from being counted out.
Scary
