‘Dead’ Chinese baby wakes just before cremation

A premature Chinese baby boy, who was declared dead and had spent 15 hours in a -12C morgue, was just about to be cremated when he suddenly showed signs of life.

Crematorium workers in Pan’an in the eastern province of Zhejiang were getting ready to cremate the body but were astounded when the child suddenly started moaning.

A day earlier, the child had been declared dead, and doctors quickly contacted the father to tell him of the miraculous recovery.
