A woman's battle to prove she isn't dead

Reminds me of a story by H. Mulisch in which someone dies lying across the border between jurisdictions. The one jurisdiction serves bodies when the head is in, the other when the larger part of the body is in. The body stayed where it was...

That's how the bilingual Canadian film Bon Cop, Bad Cop starts. A body is discovered on Quebec-Ontario border. To solve the murder case, an anglophone Ontario cop and a francophone Quebec cop have to team up.

And it's also the start of the Swedish-Danish TV series The Bridge. A body is found on the Öresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden, and a Swedish and Danish cop has to cooperate (with the Swedish one being a woman with Asperger's). Of course in that case, Swedish and Danish are mutually intelligible.
