In the audio, a first responder can be heard saying, "Just so you know, this female was transported there deceased, and she is not. They are in the chapel, and she is on a cot."

The funeral home also did not want to give out any information and wrote, "Out of respect for the privacy and confidentiality of the families we are honored to serve, we are not in a position to comment further on this matter."

Word on the street is that the woman was transported from a senior care facility, however, no one wants to comment on the story so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on.

Could this be a coming back from the dead scenario? Or did someone mistake the woman's deep sleep for death?
