00:00this happens more often than it should now a driver transporting a body to a funeral home
00:13in pittsburgh found the person alive what what also be quite the jump scare hey sure
00:23where are we going i'm sure you're already pretty jumpy as an
00:26oh i'm in pittsburgh kill me here's the story from cbs news it's really a wild story many wondering
00:37who is to blame staff at the rehabilitation center or the funeral home the state health
00:42department tells me what happened here is concerning it's a shock we've learned that
00:48the wrong person was picked up as shady side skilled nursing and rehabilitation center
00:52while en route to the funeral home the wrong person hey you're just taking a nap
01:08yeah get me out of here back of the car yeah yeah i'm dead the driver realized the person was alive
01:15you would hate that to be your relative and you're going to have questions as the family you're going
01:21to have questions about your loved one and their safety and well-being with a situation like this
01:25how do you mess up something like that the question on everyone's minds and the one the spokesperson for
01:30the center won't answer along with so many others instead in a statement they said in part once we
01:36became aware we contacted the department of health and the family emergency contact and also took
01:41necessary steps internally to address i sat down with kirk fry vogel part owner of this funeral home not
01:48involved in this case for insight on the role everyone plays whether it is at a home or whether it is in a
01:56facility funeral directors count on the medical professionals to have pronounced the person deceased prior
02:04to us being dispatched we are not trained in medical procedures of checking to see if someone is deceased or
02:13are alive i reached out to the state i'm told it doesn't regulate the transport process people can't
02:19help but think how different this situation could have turned out is what if she would have gotten to
02:23the funeral home and they would have started the process the state health department tells me it cannot
02:27comment specifically on whether the center is under investigation following this incident what's
02:33crazy about this normally these people are literally on the verge of death yeah right and so they just
02:38misinterpret i'm almost dying right this is just me in a home i'm just not looking great i'm obviously
02:44not looking great is real super tired oh i look bad though they're like oh yeah he's dead yeah like i was
02:51doing crafts scooped you right up honestly i would be so on edge as a body driver
03:02well i can't imagine being a body driver i think honestly when you're a body driver it's pretty much
03:09the only thing that usually happens is every once in a while the body flies out of the car
03:14we've seen that a couple times not they wake up and start talking here like imagine you did come to
03:20where are we yeah hey i'll field trip right off the road oh my god
03:27but at the same time i would assume i'm in a facility i work in the facility we know the room
03:34where the person just died right like it can't happen that often like i mean i understand like
03:41maybe in some giant facilities someone dies every day i don't know but you at least a regular but you're
03:48at least you're like okay yeah like that is she passed away in that room didn't we learn that like on
03:55here that like dead bodies will make a noise like air being released out of it they'll be like ah
04:01it's not good it's already scary as it is never mind them actually being alive well
04:06and then uh if you're just used to that and i'm just back there like whoa
04:10oh you're right oh this guy makes some weird noises like hell did he say hell
04:19do they transport me do they put me in a coffin or is this before all that this is probably before
04:26all that i'm just like in a van or something yeah yeah yeah yeah someone said i did it after hours on
04:31call as a part-time job absolutely one of the best part-time jobs i ever had was a funeral home body
04:40removal you just you don't have to talk no one's bothering you hope i guess maybe it's good for some
04:46people that's okay maybe the money's good not for me
04:56you
