A woman who was breathing and alive was delivered to a New York funeral home after being pronounced dead at an area rehabilitation and nursing center.
The incident took place on Long Island after the 82-year-old woman was pronounced dead at 11:15 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at Waters Edge Rehab and Nursing Center in Port Jefferson, the Suffolk County Police said.
The woman was transported to the O.B. Davis Funeral Home in Miller Place around 1:30 p.m., where it was determined she was breathing at 2:09 p.m., police said.
The woman was then transported to a local hospital, officials said.
The incident is being referred to the New York State Attorney General’s Office, police said.
Calls to the funeral home and the rehab center have not been returned.

Only partially dead
Some of these doctors are a little too quick in pronouncing people dead.
RE: Some of these doctors are a little too quick in pronouncing people dead.
In Canada, they are now too quick in actually EUTHANIZING living people.
“Well excuuuuuse me!”
Isn’t this why the custom of “wakes” developed?
Isn’t this the second time this has happened very recently?
If she was pronounced at a "skilled" nursing facility, the chances it was done by a real doctor are zero, unless one happened to be there at the time.
Huge push to allow RN or EMT pronouncements, has been for years.
Usually, there's nothing that looks as dead as a dead body, but when called to pronounce, you still have to do the work.
Just Die Already!

Some decades ago, when we would do our weekly business development meeting, “On the cart” was an official status category.
“Is XYZ project dead?”
“Don’t take it off the list yet, but it’s on the cart.”
Everyone’s favorite nightmare! *SHUDDER*
She came back to blave.
“This is highly, highly irregular! Our regional manager will be consulting the updated company By Laws to determine our next appropriate steps.” ///
She was “pronounced” by a nurse-practitioner. I recently had a tooth extracted. The dentist probed and tested for what seemed like a half hour to make sure it really needed to be extracted and that he had the right tooth. I can tell from the results that he got it right. If this “practitioner” had exerted half as much care with this poor woman (and for her poor family who had to endure news of her death twice, and entertain doubt the second time) this probably would never have happened.
Miracle Max: “There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.”
New York is having problems with medical care providers, since so many left because of vaccine mandates.
Yes, she still has has so much to blave for.
Yup. It’s too soon to go through the pockets for spare change.
I was trying for the exact quote but didn’t recall it.
Was and still is a very funny movie
