What the hell kind of “Medication” gives you heart beat after you’re dead??

Timesha Beauchamp was found unresponsive in her bedroom by her mother, Erika Lattimore, on the morning of Aug. 23, 2020, and paramedics arrived at the Southfield home some 20 minutes later.

The first responders administered CPR for a short time but declared Beauchamp dead shortly after 8 a.m., at which point family members claimed she still had a pulse.

Paramedics went back into the house after protestations from the family members, but told Lattimore and others the pulse and chest movements exhibited by Beauchamp were the result of medication, not signs of life.

Three hours later, Beauchamp was transported to a funeral home in a body bag, where an embalmer opened the bag to find her with her eyes open, gasping for air.

Beauchamp was rushed to the hospital where she was placed on a ventilator in the ICU, but she eventually died from an anoxic brain injury on Oct. 18.
