The incident was bizarre because a funeral home discovered Timesha Beauchamp was alive when she gasped while her body was being prepared on Aug. 23. The latest details are in a state license suspension filed last week against Michael Storms, a Southfield firefighter and paramedic, who was part of a four-member team responding to the home of the 20-year-old woman. The Southfield fire chief said the incident still remains under investigation by the city. The state said Storms changed his report when it was uploaded a second time to an incident database the next day.

He said he believes that after she was declared dead, police put Timesha in a body bag at her familys home and she was inside it, breathing, for about 2 hours before she arrived at the funeral home. My recollection is that the embalmer was actually there and was the person who opened the body bag, he said.
