WOMAN TURNED AWAY FROM FUNERAL HOME
A supposedly dead woman surnamed You was sent to a funeral home in Taizhou,
Zhejiang province - and was found to be still alive. She was sent by ambulance from a hospital, where her family had given up on medical treatment because of the exorbitant
cots involved. According to the hospital, You's family said she was already dead on arrival and asked them to deliver her body to a funeral home. A bystander donated 3,700
yuan (US$455) to the woman's family and finally sent her back to the hospital.
