Women went to see her dead baby, and it cried

Cliffs:
Woman gave birth to premie.
Was told it was dead.
Issued death certificate.
Two hours after death certificate (12 hours after birth) she went to see baby in morgue.
Baby cried, and moved.
Hospital still hasn't given them a birth certificate.

5 people suspended pending investigation. Hospital Director states, all 5 came to conclusion baby was still born.

Baby currently in intensive care, but improving.

My thoughts:
I can't comprehend it. Though, thankfully the parents went to check on their "dead baby", or it would have been true, though they would have been ignorant of the true death.

I wonder how often this happens. Also, I didn't catch what town this happened in, and I do not know how modern their facilities are.

I would keep the death certificate and leave it at that. The dead don't pay taxes nor can they be convicted of a crime.

I couldn't read your post because my eyes are too sore from crying over the plight of these children

Its a surprisingly common medical error. Fairly rare but some humans are able to enter a State that convincingly resembles death. How many similar threads have we had on anand tech in the past couple of years?

I ran over our dog once and he was stone cold dead. Cocker Spaniel. I dug the hole and everything. I go to pick him up 10 min later and put him in the hole and he hops up happy as can be. Wagging his tail etc. Took him to vet and he had a broken rib that was it. Weird shit.
