Baby Declared Dead Wakes Up Before Funeral

A premature baby who was declared dead and sent home for burial, woke up during his own funeral hours later. The 1.10 pound baby boy was born 16 weeks premature at an Asuncion, Paraguay hospital.

After an hour of attempting to revive the baby, doctors declared him dead. The family was given a death certificate and cardboard box to serve as a makeshift coffin. The infant was taken home to be dressed for the funeral when he began moving and crying.

The family rushed the baby back to the hospital. Dr. Ernesto Weber, the head of pediatric care at the hospital, says they initially declared the infant dead because he didn’t have respiratory reflexes.

“Initially, the baby didn’t move, he practically didn’t have any respiratory reflexes, nor did we hear a heartbeat and, as a result, we declared a premature fetus of 24 weeks dead,” Weber explains.

The baby boy is now in stable condition at the hospital.
