'Dead' Baby Wakes Up Moments Before Its Own Burial

A baby girl who doctors declared dead was moments from her burial when she awoke and started crying at a Brazilian funeral home.

According to police, the newborn was delivered Tuesday by a 14-year-old mother who was only seven months pregnant. Doctors at the Santa Casa de Misericordia hospital in the city of Araxa apparently did not detect any vital signs and declared the baby dead moments after the delivery.

The body was then transported to a local funeral home where the undertaker began prepping it for burial. Workers at the funeral home were beside themselves when the girl began to cry.

The baby was rushed back to the hospital where she was placed in an intensive care unit.

The mother and child were not immediately identified. According to local news reports, the hospital confirms the incident but have not released any further details.
