Oh man, this must've been quite the nightmare.
How'd you like to be that lady, huh?
Fell asleep at the nursing home and woke up at the morgue.
What a ride!
The Ankeny Fire Department told KCCI, its crews were called to the Ankeny Funeral Home and Crematory on West First Street, around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 3.
The fire department said first responders were initially called for a cardiac arrest incident. The crew determined the patient was not in cardiac arrest, and they began to treat the patient before they were taken to a hospital.
The Ankeny Fire Department would not comment further on the incident, but KCCI obtained scanner audio that gives more detail about the incident.
A first responder can be heard saying, "Just so you know, this female was transported there deceased, and she is not. They are in the chapel, and she is on a cot."
Imagine if you worked at that funeral home and witnessed this. You'd be scared out of your mind. And you'd probably be right to dial 911 right away like the people over at the Ankeny Funeral Home did.
Great people.
