Doctor Scan
  • Susan Johnson, 62, said she went for a hospital appointment only to be told she was dead. 
  • Hospital records said she'd died four months earlier. 
  • Johnson still doesn't know how or why the mistake, now corrected, happened. 

A woman reportedly learned she had been registered as dead when she went for a hospital appointment.

Susan Johnson, 62, went into Bridlington Hospital in Yorkshire, England, for a scan in March 2023. But when she arrived, staff told her that records showed she had been dead for four months, the BBC reported.

"I gave them my letter, and their first words were, 'Ooh, you're dead.' I said, 'pardon?' I was in shock," said Johnson.
