Prosecutors in Germany have charged a doctor with negligent bodily harm
for declaring a 92-year-old woman dead, only for her to awaken again in a
refrigerated room at a funeral home.
Essen prosecutor Birgit Juergens said the 53-year-old doctor, whose name
wasn’t released in line with privacy regulations, could face anything
from a fine to prison time if convicted.
The doctor is alleged to have pronounced the seriously ill woman dead in
March after a caregiver found her without a pulse and not breathing at a
retirement home.
That Thursday evening, a worker at the funeral home where she’d been
taken to heard a scream from the refrigeration room and discovered the
woman alive.
Juergens says the 92 year old died 2 days later in a hospital from heart disease unrelated to the incident.
