Arizona Mother Speaks After Toddler Found Alive More Than Five Hours After Being Declared Dead
An Arizona mother has described the relief of learning that her 18-month-old son was alive after he was pronounced dead following a near-drowning incident. The child was reportedly found breathing in a hospital morgue more than five hours after the declaration of death. His parents said they had been told that efforts to revive him had ended. The family’s lawyer plans to file a complaint against the doctor and hospital, alleging that blood-test results were not ready when treatment was stopped. The hospital has described the incident as heartbreaking but declined detailed comment because of patient privacy. The child survived but reportedly has a severe brain injury, seizures, and other lifelong health complications.
