The family of Sharolyn Jackson was in shock when 13 days after they held her funeral, she turned up alive.
The funeral for Jackson was held on August 3rd after the Philadelphia Medical Examiner had signed a death certificate for her. The body that was thought to be hers was then laid to rest.
In a surprise twist, 50-year-old Jackson then showed up at a Mental Health Facility. An investigation has now been opened to determine who is actually buried in the grave. Officials are expected to exhume the body so they may be able to identify her.
According to CBS Philly, the body of the unidentified woman was found on July 20th. A social worker who knows Jackson and her own son identified the body as hers.
“A representative of the Philadelphia Health Department says all proper procedures were followed by workers and, with two people, including a family member, identifying her, it was following protocol to release the body.”
Naturally the family was delighted to find that the Jackson was alive but saddened for the family of the person who is now buried at the grave.
It is unclear as to what was behind Jackson’s initial disappearance.
