‘They were about to embalm her’: Family attorney on woman found alive in Detroit funeral home

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger, who was hired by the family of Timesha Beauchamp, explains how close the 20-year-old came to actually being dead after she was found breathing in a Detroit funeral home. “They were about to embalm her which is most frightening had she not had her eyes open. They would have begun draining her blood to be very, very frank about it,” Fieger said. Fieger says the 1.5-hour delay Beauchamp encountered by going to the funeral home instead of going to the hospital may be critical to her recovery. Timesha is in critical condition at Sinai Grace Hospital and is on a ventilator.
