A 50-year-old Philadelphia woman named Sharolyn Jackson died, was laid to rest by her family and then resulted in quite definitely alive just 13 days after her funeral. Jackson was declared dead by a medical examiner on August 3rd after that which was believed to be her body was discovered on the street. She was said to have died from natural causes and was identified by her son and social worker. And then …
Continue after the breakSomething crazy happened.While it remains unknown how exactly Jackson disappeared, CBS Philly reported that she arrived at a mental health facility looking frazzled nearly a couple of weeks after she was purportedly buried.
Naturally, her family was thrilled to see their loved, but there is just one problem: Who the heck did they bury?
The identity of the woman the household mourned and held a funeral for is still unknown, although the body is set to be exhumed, so they'll probably figure all that out soon enough. Up to now, city officials say they know the body is that of an unidentified woman who had been found dead from natural causes July 20th on a West Philadelphia street.
Each time a social worker who knows Jackson — and her son — both identified pictures of the dead woman as Ms. Jackson, the Medical Examiner's Office signed a death certificate, allowing an undertaker to eliminate her body for funeral services and burial. A consultant of the Philadelphia Health Department says all proper procedures were accompanied by workers and, with two different people, including a family member, identifying her, it had been following protocol to release the body.
Let's hope the household of whoever they originally buried is able to acquire some closure and lay the woman to rest themselves.
