Toddler Declared Dead Then Breathes Again | Phoenix News

An 18-month-old boy from Gilbert was declared dead at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center — only to be found breathing again nearly five hours later in the morgue. Medical experts say it’s incredibly rare, but the toddler genuinely revived, was transferred to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and shows no brain damage. His family’s GoFundMe highlights his ongoing recovery, while the hospital investigates and police have filed child abuse charges with criminal negligence against his parents, who allegedly were smoking marijuana at the time.
