Doctor charged after wrongly certifying newborn baby dead

A DOCTOR who certified dead a Mexican baby which later revived in its coffin has been charged with homicide.

Dr Jenny Gijon, who declared the premature infant girl dead in early August, faces homicide, abuse and misconduct charges, said Jose Rodriguez, the attorney general of Hidalgo state.

During the wake, the baby’s parents heard a strange noise coming out of her little coffin and when they opened it found the baby crying. The baby was taken to hospital, but died three days later of asphyxia.
