A Brooklyn hospital may face charges after confusing a live patient with a recently deceased one. Ella Abrams was admitted to Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center because she was having trouble breathing, but when her concerned relatives called to check on her, a staffer had bad news. "She said, 'I'm sorry, she passed away,'" said the 93-year-old's great-granddaughter Jasmine Goodwin. In a horror movie turn, the family discovered their supposedly deceased relative at the hospital when they went to pick up her things. "I just walked up to her and I touched her head, and when I touched her head, her eyes opened and she turned her head," Goodwin said. "When she did that, I started screaming."

According to CBS2, a woman with a similar sounding name had passed away earlier that morning, leading to the mix-up and the trauma that ensued. Goodwin says she’s still in shock from the incident and the family may file charges. "We looking at emotional duress, emotional stress - you know, that's basically what our issue is," said her mother, and Abrams’s granddaughter, Tracie Covington. The hospital is investigating and says it "deeply regrets" the incident.
