Paramedics Suspended After Dead Woman Found Alive At Detroit Funeral Home

The state of Michigan suspended the licenses of two of the paramedics who treated Timesha Beauchamp, the 20-year-old women who was declared dead when she was found to be alive hours later at a Detroit funeral home.

The state have also served letters of intent to suspend the licenses of two other EMTs, according to the Southfield Fire Department. All four were at Beauchamp's home on Sunday after a family member called 911 because Beauchamp stopped breathing.

The fire department previously said that paramedics spent 30 minutes trying to revive Beauchamp before they declared her as dead. The Southfield fire chief also confirmed earlier in the week that paramedics were asked by one of Beauchamp's family members and a police officer to check Beauchamp again because they thought she was breathing.

The four firefighters who were also at Beauchamp's home have been placed on paid administrative leave.

The city of Southfield and Oakland County are investigating why paramedics incorrectly said Beauchamp was dead.

Earlier this week, a lawyer hired by Beauchamp's family said that she was still alive, but remains in the hospital and on a ventilator.
