Baby came back to life just hours before funeral

A humungous mess up, or a miracle?

A newborn baby was declared clinically dead by doctors and his devastated family sent the body to the morgue, but the baby came back to life just hours before being cremated reports The Sun.

The child’s body was placed in a freezer at -12 degrees overnight, wrapped only in two blankets. When mortuary staff went to collect the “dead” baby they heard crying and were shocked to discover the baby was alive.

After being born prematurely the baby had spent 23 days in an incubator before being declared healthy and sent home, but once there he deteriorated and was rushed back to hospital.

A short time later he was pronounced dead.

The child is now in a critical condition in hospital and doctors have no way of explaining the “miracle.”
