Michigan woman with cerebral palsy declared dead wakes up before embalming begins

NEW YORK - A Michigan woman who was declared dead by paramedics on Sunday was discovered alive hours later by a funeral home worker who was preparing to embalm her body, a lawyer for her family said."She requires constant care since birth," he said on Tuesday."I believe her relative fragile condition contributed to the false belief by the authorities" that she had died.

When the paramedics arrived, they found a 20-year-old woman, later identified as Ms Beauchamp, who was not breathing."Given medical readings and the condition of the patient, it was determined at that time that she did not have signs of life." "The Southfield Fire and Police Departments followed all appropriate city, county and state protocols and procedures in this case," the department said, adding that the city was investigating the matter.

Ms Beauchamp was never taken to the medical examiner's office after she was pronounced dead, as is routine when emergency medical workers have conferred with a doctor and the medical examiner's office to determine that someone has died from natural causes, said Mr Bill Mullan, spokesman for Oakland County, Michigan.

Ms Jocelyn K. Coley, a spokesman for the James H. Cole Home for Funerals, confirmed that the funeral home had received clearance from the Oakland County medical examiner's office to pick up Ms Beauchamp's body on Sunday.
