April 11, 2012
A newborn in Argentina was found very much alive in a morgue
by her mother 12 hours after hospital staff had declared the baby dead.
The mother reportedly told a television network, the hospital still has issued her
only a death certificate for the infant rather than a birth certificate. The baby being the fifth child of her parents was born prematurely.
Two hours after being issue a death certificate, the parents
visited the morgue because they wanted to see their child one more time.
"The baby was there and they put the little casket on a
stretcher. We looked for a bar to pry it open," the baby's father, said in
a press conference. "My wife looked and uncovered it slowly. She saw the
little hand and then uncovered the face. That's when it let the first little
cry out."
"That night, we went to the morgue. We wanted to take a
photo of our daughter," the mother reportedly told an Argentina's
newspaper. "But when a worker opened the drawer, we heard a cry and she
was alive."
The newborn has been named Luz Milagros, or "Miracle
Light." She is still listed as being in critical condition but is said to
be improving. The deputy provincial health minister announced that five medical
professionals involved in the case have been suspended, pending further
investigation.
