Melbourne woman mistakenly declared dead by hospital


A Melbourne woman has launched legal action after Werribee Hospital mistakenly declared her dead, leaving her family to grieve for days while she was alive and well at home.

Michelle Buckley’s relatives were devastated when police knocked on their door in Queensland to deliver the tragic news of her death. But Ms Buckley was very much alive, making pizza at home in Melbourne.

The shocking mix-up occurred when her medical records were confused with another woman who had a similar name but was one year older, and who had actually died. #mistakenidentity #hospital #mixup #werribeemercyhospital #melbourne
