A transport team arrived to take the body to the morgue, but at about 3pm Sancomb had some ‘spontaneous respirations’ and began moving his left arm and right leg,

Sancomb’s pulse returned and he was taken to Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit.



Sancomb’s brother told the medical examiner that his sibling had a drink and a cigar every once in a while but did not use street drugs. The medical examiner’s office declined to comment on the case.
