In early January, an Alzheimer's care facility in Iowa pronounced one of its residents dead. But when funeral home staff unzipped her body bag, she was in fact alive — and gasping for air, according to a citation from the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals.
The 66-year-old woman, who was't named in the report, was admitted to the Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center in Urbandale, Iowa, in December 2021. She had diagnoses including end stage early-onset dementia, anxiety and depression, according to the document.
