Zombie Watch: Family misinformed about grandmother's death.

Or were they?? From ABC:
A local family got quite a surprise after they were told their grandmother had died at a hospital in Brooklyn. They began making funeral arrangements and notifying relatives.

But when they showed up at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, they found out 93-year-old Ella Abrams was very much alive.

"Jasmine went in there, and Jasmine started hollering, crying, she says, "Oh my God, she's alive, she's alive," Abrams' daughter Martha Covington said.

Great-granddaughter Jasmine Goodwin says a hospital staffer told her on the phone Wednesday that her family's matriarch had passed away. But when the family went to the ICU to gather her things, they saw her name on the door and Ella inside.

[...] With the family horrified in the hall, Jasmine ventured in the room, saw the ventilator still on and felt Ella's hand.

"She was warm, and she moved her head," Goodwin said. "So I started screaming. I screamed and ran out, and I was like, 'Mommy, Mommy, she's alive!"
