It sounds like they were paying attention and responsive:

At 2:09 p.m. funeral home workers unzipped the bag, and, according to DeNoto, discovered that Balducci “was still breathing and had a pulse.” The funeral home called paramedics, who intubated Balducci while rushing her to nearby John T. Mather Memorial Hospital. When Balducci got there, DeNoto said she was “noted to be unresponsive.”

“She was placed on palliative care and held on until 5:20 a.m. on February 5, 2023,” DeNoto said. “At that time, she passed.”
