IG's Review to Include Case of Woman Reported Alive at Morgue
March 31, 2005 - 5:53am
Dr. Jonathan Arden, the city's chief medical examiner, has said his workers now realize they made a mistake, and may have actually felt pulsation in their own fingertips.
But Inspector General Charles Maddox will examine the case as part of an overall review of the medical examiner's office that's been underway for a month.
Paramedics found no signs of life in Deborah Wilson, 49, when they found her in her apartment last week. Her remains were taken to the D.C. morgue.
It was there, after her body had been refrigerated for hours, that two staffers thought they felt a pulse.
Follow-up testing found no heartbeat.
