When the girl’s funeral was over, the priest froze noticing this detail on her body. While priest and family are Stan to pay respect for our daughter loss, something shocking happened that changed our lives and faith forever.
Grief is the natural emotion response to the loss of someone close, such as a family member or friend. There’s nothing more powerful than love, so it’s loss is equally powerful, but in the negative this makes you human. It would be much sadder if you didn’t care about a loved one’s passing one tends to be stuck in that what if situations.
These hypothetical situations are tough to get out of, especially when it’s a young age. Since you’re helpless in many ways and many a time even know that things are shaping up debt against how they would have been. People shower you with detestable and useless sympathy. It would have been a lot better if they didn’t offer their sympathies. The best response would be to ask, Are you okay?
If there is genuine concern mixed in those words, even years later, you try to make things as if that person was still alive. You sometimes feel the tinge that despite all that trying, you do know that it’s all make believe and that things would never happen as they are. Above all, I think if you have a truly to recover,
you have to reach a point where you would in no way have to depend on that person. But then too, there are those odd moments and small things like wanting to share a cricket score, or so simply stated, the situation is not one you would want to be in. But then you already knew that.
Funeral attendees recently got the shock of a lifetime when a person on the verge of being buried suddenly woke up. A Michigan woman who was declared dead by paramedics Sunday was discovered alive hours later by a funeral home worker who was preparing to embalm her body, a lawyer for the family said.
The lawyer, Jeffrey Figur, said the woman, Timesha Beecham, was born with cerebral palsy. She requires constant care since birth, he said Tuesday. I believe her relative fragile condition contributed to the false belief by the authorities that she had died for Michigan Fire Department, paramedics and EMTs have been placed on paid leave after a 20 year old woman was mistakenly pronounced dead and taken to a funeral home, a local official said this morning.
Southfield Fire Chief Johnny Menafe held a Press conference on Wednesday to answer questions about the bizarre case of Tamisha Beacham, who was found alive in breathing by Detroit mortuary worker on Sunday. Beacham is currently at Sinai Gray’s Hospital on a ventilator in critical condition, with the family attorney describing her prognosis for recovery as touch and go.
Minafee did not name the first responders, who took the call and repeatedly checked Beacham’s vital signs, but described them as good paramedics who never faced any disciplinary issues. They included a Lieutenant with 18 years of experience, a paramedic who has been on the job for seven years and two EMTs with two years and six months of experience, respectively. They feel terrible that it happened, Men if he said.
He added that the paramedics and EMTs are currently on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Lawyer Geoffrey Feeger, who has been retained by the family, has alleged that the paramedics dismissed a relative’s assertion that she has seen beach and breathing and felt a pulse, and that the family were handed a body bag for the 20 year old to be zipped into for her trip to the funeral home claims that Menafe vehemently denied.
On Wednesday, Menafe opened the press briefing by providing a timeline of the incident, beginning with the 911 call at 07:27 A.m. On Sunday and ending with the departure of police from the scene an hour and a half later. The fire chief said that during that time, his four paramedics and EMTs performed life saving procedures for 30 minutes and checked Beecham’s vital signs on three separate occasions.
Each time, Ms. Beachm didn’t show any signs of life. Men if he stressed. The official acknowledged that as the first responders were about to leave, they were approached by a relatives, saying that they heard beach and breathing. The fire Department immediately grabbed their equipment, went in and reassessed her, Menufi said.
At no time did they find her breathing. A short time later, a family member approached a police officer on the scene and said they thought they had felt a heartbeat on beach him. The patient was checked a third time, but again, no signs of life were detected, according to the chief. What transpired with Ms. Beecham is unique and unsettling.
We know there is evidence out there that this sort of thing happened before, and if he said. The chief then took time to refute the family’s Attorney’s narrative, accusing Figur of making grossly inaccurate statements. The most alarming inaccurate statement is that a Southfield police officer or firefighter placed Ms. Beat him in a body bag. That is absolutely untrue, he argued.
It is not part of our standard operating procedures, nor do we carry that equipment. Metafee also denied features claims that the fire Department failed to contact a physician and that the local police Department did not contact the medical examiner.
This is not true, he stressed. When manifest declined to speculate how Beecham was received after showing no signs of life, he invoked the so called Lazarus syndrome, or phenomenon, which is defined as a delayed return of spontaneous circulation after CPR is stopped. It is named after Lazarus Abbethany, who, according to the Bible, was resurrected by Jesus four days after his death.
Figurs said during his own news conference via video on Tuesday afternoon that Beacham spent more than 2 hours in a body bag. Acclaimed Chief Metafi repeatedly and fiercely denied before a mortuary worker found her looking at him as he was getting ready to embalm her. Beecham was pronounced dead after Fire Department paramedics and police were summoned to her family’s home in Southfield on a medical emergency call. More than 2 hours later, the 20 year old woman was brought to James H. Cole home for funerals.
According to Figur, a staffer was getting ready to embalm beach him when he discovered that the woman was far from dead. Temesha was alive, the lawyer said. Her eyes were open and she was breathing. My recollection is that the Embalmer was actually there and was the person who opened the body bag. Figur, who had been retained by Erica Latimore, Beacham’s mother, to investigate what he called the negligence that led to Time Sha being declared dead, explained that the woman was born with cerebral palsy and requires constant care and breathing treatments three times a day.
On Sunday morning, Beecham’s mother and brother, who are in charge of changing dressing and feeding her, noticed that she had difficulty breathing and that her lips were pale and surrounded by secretions, the lawyer said. She had apparently suffered a seizure. The family called 911, and within 15 minutes,
four Southfield Fire Department paramedics arrived along with police officers, according to a statement from Southfield Fire Chief Johnny Minafe. The first responders performed CPR and other life reviving methods for 30 minutes, Seger said. The medical responders were told of Timesha’s medical history, the medications she receives and about her daily breathing treatments, he said.
What happened next is unclear, but Timesha was declared to be dead, even though he said her godmother, who he said is a registered nurse, told the paramedics she had seen Tamisha breathing and she felt that she had a pulse, Figur said the paramedics dismissed the godmother’s concerns, telling her drugs they had given to Misha were causing those movements.
The godmother felt that she saw chest movements and felt that she had a pulse, she told the paramedics, and the paramedics told her that the movements were involuntary and were the result of the medication, and they went, according to the family, a total of three times to Tamisha’s room to look at her, he said. Oakland county spokesperson William Mullen told DailyMail.com
over the phone that after determining that the woman had died, the EMTs followed standard operating procedure and contacted an emergency room physician at an area hospital who reviewed the patient’s medical data and declared her deceased. The Southfield Police Department then called the Oak County Medical Examiner’s Office, saying that an official death declaration has been made for the patient and there was no suspicion to foul play that would have called for an autopsy.
Based on the information from the police and the Er doctor, a forensic pathologist released Beacham, which was still at home, directly to her family, to make funeral arrangements.
