Photo: Woman Turns Up Alive Two Weeks After Her Funeral

A 50-year-old Philadelphia woman named Sharolyn Jackson
died, was laid to rest by her family and then turned up very
much alive just 13 days after her funeral. Jackson was
declared dead by a medical examiner on August 3rd after
what 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 …
something crazy happened.While it remains unknown how
exactly Jackson disappeared, CBS Philly reported that she
showed up at a mental health facility looking frazzled
nearly two weeks after she was purportedly buried.

Naturally, her family was thrilled to see their loved, but
there was just one problem: Who the heck did they bury?

The identity of the woman the family mourned and held a
funeral for is still unknown, though the body is set to be
exhumed, so they'll probably figure all that out soon

enough. So far, city officials say they know the body is that
of an unidentified woman who was found dead from natural
causes July 20th on a West Philadelphia street.

When 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 remove her body for
funeral services and burial. A representative of the
Philadelphia Health Department says all proper procedures
were followed by workers and, with two people, including
a family member, identifying her, it was following protocol
to release the body.

Let's hope the family of whoever they originally buried is
able to get some closure and lay the woman to rest
themselves.
