Toddler Found Alive Hours After Being Declared Dead in Arizona Hospital Morgue
An 18-month-old toddler in Gilbert, Arizona, was mistakenly pronounced dead after a drowning incident and placed in a hospital morgue. Hours later, a medical examiner's transport team found him breathing, leading to his transfer to another hospital where he survived but faces ongoing health challenges. The toddler's mother described the emotional trauma of believing he had died and the relief upon learning he was alive. Police officers reportedly noticed signs of life earlier but were overruled by the attending physician.
