Declared dead, found breathing, I heard it all. Maybe its time I pick up my old mans bible.

My Mom was an funeral home enbalmer and said see witnesed atleast 5 times in 3 different funeral home where men and women who had been declared dead and came back after 2 days as they were getting ready for auptopsy or enbalming. This happened in Austin, Tx in the 60s and 70s. 😳

I fee like I just overheard a conversation at a diner

[sophianagordon]

Blessed woman chosen to be here. Hope she lives life to the fullest from this day on. Wow. She was chosen to be alive!!!

[Pinkielover]

The will of the force didn’t want her to pass... Not yet anyway

[WhiteStrike]

But were they black? Cmon people we all know we need to know the race before any other information is valid

[jenntip]

She isn't the first and won't be the new here.

[cornstorm]

It's still 2020, bless her & the funeral home that saved her life 🙏

When I was young I was hit by a car, went into a coma and during surgery on my head was pronounced dead my mother told me. Today I am 57 years old and do not suffer from seizures which is what doctors said in writing I would have when I started breathing again.

These are the facts: 7:15am Sunday: Southfield Fire Department respond to call for unresponsive woman. They find no breathing & no pulse & begin CPR & administer medications. After 30 minutes they check for signs of life & find none & notify hospital of their findings & E.R. physician pronounces her dead over the radio based on their findings. Paramedics leave & Southfield police see her breathing & moving. They call paramedics back, who refuse to return & say what they are seeing are residual side effects if drugs administered. Since no foul play is involved, the "body" is released to family who arrange for funeral home pick-up. Upon arrival at funeral home, they see her moving & breathing. They call 911 & Detroit paramedics transport her to hospital. Reports are that she had stable vital signs & a good oxygen level. Family has not released her name or any further details on her cindition. As a nurse, my guess is that she ODd & her pulse was so faint & slow that it was hard to detect. However, if the story of SFD refusing to come back is true, lawsuit city!

Organ Harvesting, thank god the girl woke up

So your investigative reporting is limited to Twitter or other forms of social media? Please tell me this isn't correct!?
