Funeral directors discover woman breathing hours after she was declared dead

An elderly woman who was pronounced dead at a nursing home in New York was found to be breathing just hours later at a funeral home she had been taken to.

The 82-year-old woman, who has not been named, was declared dead at Water's Edge Rehab and Nursing Centre at Port Jefferson in Long Island on Saturday at 11:15am, Suffolk County police said.

Just weeks prior the same nursing home was recognised as one of the Best Nursing Homes for 2022-2023.
