An infant pronounced dead by Chinese hospital staff awoke after spending 15 hours in a morgue refrigerator, moments before being carried out for cremation, as reported by local television.
The baby had spent 15 hours in the refrigerator at a temperature of about 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
On Jan. 8, a baby boy was delivered prematurely after a seven-month pregnancy at the Pan'an People’s Hospital in Zhejiang, a coastal province in southeastern China. Despite recommendations that the infant be kept in incubation for a month, the father insisted on taking him out at 23 days so as to be able to bring him home for Chinese New Year.
It wasn’t a good idea. Two days later, the boy’s face turned purple and the family sent him back to the hospital for emergency care. By Feb. 4, the baby’s state had only deteriorated, as reported on Channel Six of Zhejiang Television.
