Mother Shows up alive more than a week after her funeral

A Philadelphia woman, Sharolyn Jackson, 50, was laid to rest at Colonial Memorial Park by her devastated family on August 3, following the Philadelphia Medical Examiner signing a death certificate and releasing a body believed to be hers.
She showed up alive, last Friday, at a mental health facility in central Philadelphia 13 days after her family buried her in an emotional service.


'I had to call my wife and give her the sad news over the phone you know, that they'd just found our daughter dead,' her father Dave Minnie said. Her son, Travis, passed on the good news to her father, who was overjoyed.

'You know you feel you're just about to get over it, that she's dead, then Travis comes here with the good news that she's alive,' he told CBS News, laughing.


Jackson was reported missing from her West Philadelphia home on July 18. When a body of a woman fitting her description was found on July 20 on a West Philadelphia street, officials thought it could be her. A social worker who knows Jackson, and Travis, both identified pictures of the dead woman as the missing Jackson.
