Mistaken Identity Leads To an Exhumation

Funeral services for Sharolyn Jackson were heldin early August. However, Jackson turned up alive just a few weeks later. Heridentity was confirmed through her fingerprints when she showed up in ahospital. Jackson’s mother, who saw the body in the casket, claimed that thewomen in the casket looked identical to her daughter except for her nose.Jackson’s mom assumed that the embalming process had altered the appearance ofthe nose. This mistaken identity means that the buried body will be exhumed forproper identification.
