Dead baby found alive

My name is URL

A father has described his shock at finding his 'dead' baby had come back to life when he said goodbye at the wake.

Jose Alvarenga's son was born prematurely in Asuncion, Paraguay, weighing just 500 grams (17.6 ounces).

The infant was pronounced dead on Thursday and officials put the tiny body in a box and took it to his parents house four hours later.

Mr Alvarenga said: "I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing. I began to cry."

He hurried back to the hospital where his partner was receiving treatment, and nurses put the baby in an incubator.

The infant is understood to be in a stable condition.

The hospital has said it will carry out an investigation into the incident.

"This is a very unusual case," the head of paediatric intensive care, Ernesto Weber, said.

He said the doctor in charge may not have properly checked the baby.

Other staff at the hospital said they had fought to save the infant's life for more than an hour but the pulse may have been too faint to detect.

That would definately be the coolest thing to tell your friends when you get older. Nothing would top it.

I heard babys can survive a lot, far more hardy than you would expect. esp. when it comes to not breathing, drowning etc, since they are in the womb so long.

Also they'd be irrelevent as there is no dead baby.

I remember a 1st-aid course a few years back, where I was hooked up to a machine which told me my pulse. There was none. It gave everyone else's pulse but mine So yeah, I can see the above happening.

But unlike the 'dead' baby, you were probably sitting up and chatting to your bud's at the time?.

A fair indication that you weren't in fact -DEAD!.

apparently it's not unheard of for 'stillborn' babies to suddenly spring to life in the morgue.... they're discovered it's something to do with the cold so now they often treat ill babies by cooling them down as opposed to incubating.

apparently anyway.

acccording to something my mom read.

and we all know everything moms read is the gospel truth.........
