Beijing (AFP) - A Chinese baby boy who was declared dead and spent the night in a morgue showed signs of life just as he was about to be cremated, local TV reported.
Workers at
the crematorium in Pan'an in the eastern province of Zhejiang were preparing to
cremate the baby on Friday when he suddenly starting moaning, provincial
television reported.
The boy had
been declared dead the day before and had spent 15 hours in the morgue at a
temperature of about -12 degrees Celsius (10.4 F).
After
finding the child alive, the crematorium notified his father and the baby was
taken to a hospital intensive care unit.
"It's
the first time I've seen this. It's a true miracle," said a doctor at the
Pan'an hospital where the infant was born prematurely in January.
The child
spent 23 days in an incubator and was then taken home by his father, who wanted
him there for the start of the Lunar New Year which began Monday.
But the
baby's condition worsened a few days after returning home. He was declared dead
on February 4 after a doctor decided his heart had stopped beating.
Before the
baby was sent to the morgue, his father had wrapped him in two layers of
clothing and a thick bag which may have saved his life.
However,
doctors are cautious about his chances of recovery.
