Episode Details

An 18-month-old boy was declared dead in a Gilbert, Arizona hospital morgue — only to be found alive nearly five hours later, breathing. Found unresponsive in a pool, he was rushed to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, where doctors initially declared him dead. But as police and parents reported he still appeared to be breathing, hospital staff assured them it was just resuscitation movements — a rare but possible phenomenon. The child was then transferred to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where an MRI revealed no brain damage and he’s now recovering. The hospital is reviewing its procedures, while child abuse charges with criminal negligence are being considered against the parents, who were reportedly smoking marijuana when the child was found.
