Shocker! woman turns up alive 2weeks after her own burial

Thirteen days after saying their final farewells to a Sharolyn Jackson, a Philadelphia family got a pleasant surprise when they found Jackson alive and well.  The fifty-year-old was pronounced dead after a body matching her description was found on a street corner on July 20. (Via Daily Mirror)  The body was identified as Jackson by her son and a friend, and was buried under Jackson’s name on August 3. (Via Legacy)  But just 13 days after her funeral, Jackson’s son Travis discovered his mother alive and well at a psychiatric institution in central Philadelphia. (Via New York Daily News)  Jackson’s father, Dave Minnie, told KYW about the moment he learned his daughter was alive after all.  “You know how you feel that you’re just about to get over it? That she’s dead, and then Travis comes here with the news that she’s alive.”  Jackson’s family was obviously overjoyed to have her back, but the question remains: who is buried in Jackson’s grave? The Daily Mail says authorities are trying to find that out.  A writer for The Stir comments the mystery woman the Jacksons laid to rest must put a bit of a damper on the family’s reunion.  “Sure, your mom is OK, but who knows who this other woman has left behind ... and they haven’t even had the comfort of being able to say goodbye to their loved one. Talk about a mixed blessing!”   Authorities are now seeking a court order to exhume the body. The unknown woman died of natural causes on July 20.
