Employee Found ‘Dead’ Woman Breathing in Funeral Home: Cops
Looks like someone won’t be making the funeral.
A woman in Lincoln, Nebraska is still alive on Monday—a fact that would hardly merit national headlines if not for the fact that she was pronounced dead earlier in the day.
“This is a very unusual case,” Lancaster County Sheriff Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said at a press conference. “Been doing this 31 years, and nothing like this has ever gotten to this point before.”
The woman, identified as Constance Glantz, 74, was pronounced deceased around 9:45 a.m. by staff at a local nursing home. Her “remains” were transported to a nearby funeral home, only for emergency services to be summoned roughly two hours later after an employee noticed that she appeared to still be breathing.
“Employee was placing Constance Glantz onto a table to start the process and employee noticed that she was breathing. They instantly called 911,” Houchin said.
CPR was conducted on Glantz and “she was taken to a local hospital, and is still alive,” Houchin confirmed. He said that investigators had visited the nursing home. “At this point, we have not been able to find any criminal intent by the nursing home, but the investigation is ongoing,” he said.
Her family has been notified.
Because Glantz was in hospice care, her death was anticipated and there appeared to be nothing suspicious about her supposed death, the nursing home did not have to contact the coroner or cops after Glantz was declared dead, Houchin said. “It did not fall into those parameters,” he added.

Nebraska DHHS evaluating USDA guidelines that could limit food access for undocumented immigrants
LINCOLN, Neb. — New requirements for the Emergency Food Assistance Program could mean some people lose access to food they previously received, and organizations like the Food Bank of Lincoln are warning the community about the looming change.
It has been five months since the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) directed state agencies to review options to ensure undocumented immigrants do not receive taxpayer-funded benefits like food from the program. Nebraska DHHS manages the program in the state, and food banks distribute the food. DHHS confirms it is currently evaluating potential implementation of the request.
Says in a statement provided to 10/11,
The Food Bank of Lincoln says 10 percent of the food it distributes is provided by the USDA through the program, and the new rule would add another barrier to food access.
“We believe that all people should have access to food. Always. End of story for us. And so for us, it’s counter to our mission to think about turning away a child or a senior or a family because of their legal status and not providing them food,” said Tiffany Murray, chief operating officer of the Food Bank of Lincoln.
Currently, people receiving food provided by the USDA submit their income and household size, but their full name is not required on the form. The Food Bank said, under the new rules, a full name must be printed and signed, which may make some people hesitant to participate.
The Food Bank of Lincoln said during the last fiscal year they distributed
10/11 reached out to DHHS about when the changes would be implemented and had not received a response detailing the timeline as of Friday.
