Melbourne woman wrongly declared dead by hospital

A Melbourne woman, Michelle Buckley, was incorrectly declared dead by a hospital after another patient's discharge summary contained her name and date of birth. Her family mourned for approximately two weeks before the error was discovered, causing significant distress to relatives including an elderly aunt. Michelle has launched legal action through Slater and Gordon to investigate how the mix-up occurred and ensure it doesn't happen to others.
