Late For Her Own Funeral: Woman Found Alive Two Weeks After Burial

A Philadelphia woman was found alive and well, two weeks after her funeral. Yes, you read that right.

Sharolyn Jackson was thought to be dead by her family. They identified a body as hers, but noted the only thing “odd” about the body was that her nose looked a little thinner than normal.

Sharolyn had been missing since the start of this year, and had struggled with drugs and mental health issues. After an unidentified woman died in a Philadelphia hospital, the family was sure it was her.

There was really a strong resemblance, a really strong resemblance

Sharolyn’s mom added that the unidentified body and Sharolyn could have been sisters.

So who did the Jackson family bury? Well, no one knows. Authorities are exhuming the body and working towards finding out who it is. Thankfully, the family didn’t opt for cremation.
