A newborn in Argentina was found very much alive in a morgue by her mother 12 hours after hospital staff had declared the baby dead.
The mother, Analia Bouguet, tells TeleNoticias TV that the hospital still has issued her only a death certificate for the infant rather than a birth certificate. Bouguet said she is planning to pursue a medical malpractice suit.
The Daily Mail reports that the baby was Bouguet's fifth and was born prematurely.
Two hours after being issue a death certificate, Bouguet and her husband visited the morgue because they wanted to see their child one more time.
"The baby was there and they put the little casket on a stretcher. We looked for a bar to pry it open," the baby's father, Fabian Veron, said in a press conference. "My wife looked and uncovered it slowly. She saw the little hand and then uncovered the face. That's when it let the first little cry out."
"That night, we went to the morgue. We wanted to take a photo of our daughter," Bouguet told Argentina's Clarin newspaper. "But when a worker opened the drawer, we heard a cry and she was alive."
The newborn has been named Luz Milagros, or "Miracle Light." She is still listed as being in critical condition but is said to be improving. The deputy provincial health minister announced that five medical professionals involved in the case have been suspended, pending further investigation.
"At the moment we have no explanation," hospital director Jose Luis Meirino told the paper. "The baby was attended to by obstetricians, gynecologists and a neonatologist. They all reached the same conclusion, that this girl was stillborn."
A heroic 65-year-old man jumped directly into a powerful Florida riptide and rescued a little girl before suffering a "cardiac event" in the water that led to his death.
Alan Hall went to Honeymoon Island, Fla. Sunday to spend the day relaxing with his wife and daughter, but the day quickly took a dramatic turn.
While taking a walk with his wife, Eileen, to collect seashells, the couple spotted three children playing near the shoreline as a powerful current began to build.
"[My dad] said, 'I hope somebody's watching them. That's a pretty strong current,'" Julie Hall recounted.
Seconds later, the children started screaming for help. Their parents rushed into the water and were each able to pull a child to safety, but a third child, a little girl, was still in harms way in the rough water. Alan Hall jumped into the tide without hesitating, Julie Hall said.
"My dad was able to push Ruby out of the way and towards the shore, where it was safe," said Julie Hall.
Riptides, also known as rip currents, are extremely dangerous channels of discolored water that can form unexpectedly and pull swimmers away from the beach.
After pushing the child to safety, Alan Hall's heart stopped. Nearby boaters managed to get him back to shore, where a crowd was gathering.
His wife began performing CPR immediately but Alan Hall was not breathing and did not have a pulse.
"My mom said one of the things she remembers so strongly is the circle of people around him that all started praying for him," Julie Hall said. "That's something that has stuck with her."
Emergency medics arrived and attempted to resuscitate Hall, but they were unsuccessful. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Medical examiners have not yet released a cause of death, but Julie Hall said her father suffered from a "cardiac event."
A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said that no lifeguards were on the section of the beach because it is not a designated swimming area. Other parts of Honeymoon Island State Park are open for swimming but only have seasonal lifeguards on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Five-year-old Ruby, the child Alan Hall saved, traveled to the hospital with her parents and siblings to thank the Halls. The family had been on vacation in Florida, visiting from Ohio.
"They were so distraught and they were so guilty," Julie Hall said. "We told them not to feel guilty because if my dad had known the outcome, he would have done it anyway. That's how he lived his life. He would have done it regardless. He was one of those people that actually lived what he preached."
Hall said her recently-retired parents moved to the Land O'Lakes area of Florida from Connecticut not long ago. Her mother is a retired nurse and Alan Hall most recently worked in sales for Frito Lay.
The couple was getting ready to celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary. Hall said her mother is doing "as good as can be expected."
"I think because she's still in shock, she's okay right now," Hall said. "She's strong. She's tough."
Hall said her family is extremely proud of her father, and hopes the example he set will move others to perform acts of kindness and caring for strangers.
"He wouldn't have done it to be a hero, but he's probably grinning somewhere," Hall said.

PHOENIX - A Valley Walmart is beefing up security after a manager was shot and killed during a robbery Saturday morning.
Phoenix police said they now have officers guarding the entrances of the Walmart at 75th Avenue and McDowell Road.
Police said they will be at the Walmart 24 hours a day for the next several days.
Police have even been escorting the armored money trucks that visit store since Assistant Store Manager Peter Marquez was shot and killed by the robber.
Shoppers told ABC15 the store has had problems.
"I don't really think it's safe," customer Alethea Jones said shopping with her two young boys. "I think that it's a little bit dangerous. First, it's by the freeway, and anything by the freeway tends to be unsafe. And, there have a been a few incidents inside the Walmart where people fight."
Police said the shooter is still on the loose.
Anyone with information is asked to please call the Phoenix Police Crime Stop, (602)262-6161, or Phoenix Police Violent Crimes at (602)262-6141. Any caller can remain anonymous.
Walmart said they are planning a charity car wash for Marquez and his family Saturday, April 14.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Police backed by a helicopter arrested two white men early Sunday and said they would face murder charges in the recent shootings that terrorized Tulsa's black community and left three people dead and two others critically wounded.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham said the two men were arrested at a home just north of Tulsa about 2 a.m. Sunday and were expected to be charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill in the spate of shootings early Friday. He said police made the arrests after receiving an anonymous tip.
Tulsa, OK - A manhunt is underway in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the suspect in a string of shootings that left at least three people dead.
Authorities say the shootings are possible hate crimes because the suspect is a white male and all the victims are black.
The attacks, which happened over a seven-hour period at four different locations, also left two people wounded.
The suspect is believed to be driving a white truck.
Five African American's Shot 3 dead.
The first victim is identified as Dannaer Fields, a 49 year-old woman who was found shot in the chest around 1 a.m. yesterday. Police say the next to be killed was 57 year-old Bobby Clark. Then 31 year-old William Allen was found shot to death in the parking lot of a funeral home.
Two other unidentified men were shot in a fourth attack, but are expected to survive.
The "Tulsa World" newspaper reports the attacks happened within three miles of each other and all of the victims were walking down the street when they were shot.
