It’s not often a fatal drowning ends on a happy note (although we always laugh when Jack dies at the end of Titanic), but there was a sprinkling of good news amongst deadly flooding in Detroit last month.
Psychology student Jena David, 30, was pulled from her car during the floods and carried into a nearby pizza store by a local firefighter. She was unconscious when she was placed in an emergency vehicle and was later confirmed dead by city officials.
“I got the information from the fire department that the woman had died, and then I relayed it to the media,” sombre Warren Deputy Police Commissioner Louis Galasso said. “Then (on Thursday), I got a call from our fire commissioner, who tells me: ‘You know that lady who died at Buddy’s Pizza? Well, she just walked into Buddy’s looking for her property. She’s not dead. She wanted to know if anyone had her purse.'”
Yes, in a twist that would make M Night Shyamalan soil himself in excitement, the woman had made a Christ-like recovery and city officials had been a bit too eager to kill her off. On the plus side, they sound perfectly qualified to become writers for Game of Thrones.
The next day, Jena saw a news report about a 30-year-old woman who had died after being carried into a Buddy’s Pizza store by an unknown man.
Then, it dawned on her: “They’re talking about me. Everyone thinks I’m dead,” she told The Detroit News. “Now, my friends don’t believe me when I tell them I’m the girl who supposedly died at the Buddy’s Pizza,” she added, calling it “a strange kind of feeling.” Water way to go!
