US woman declared dead found alive at funeral home

A woman in Nebraska initially pronounced dead at a nursing home was later found to be alive at a funeral home, authorities have confirmed.

An emergency call was made on Monday by staff of a funeral home in Waverly, near Lincoln, who noticed the 74-year-old was still breathing and performed CPR on her.

Constance Glantz had been pronounced dead by staff at a nearby nursing home about two hours earlier.

She was taken to a local hospital. Police are investigating the incident, but say they have not found evidence of criminal intent by the nursing home.
