Miracle Baby Found Alive After Morgue Transfer

In a remarkable turn of events, an 18-month-old boy named Vincent was discovered alive in a hospital morgue in Gilbert, Arizona, more than five hours after being declared dead on Super Bowl Sunday, February 8th. His mother, Alexus Fiordilino, had expressed a belief that her son was still breathing, but was advised by Dr. Aryan Toosi that continuing resuscitation efforts would only prolong his suffering.

Vincent had been rushed to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center after a near-drowning incident in the family's swimming pool. Despite police officers noting apparent gasps after his pronouncement at 6:20 p.m., medical staff attributed this to agonal breathing. It wasn't until a medical examiner's employee arrived to retrieve the child late that night that he was found to be breathing.

While prosecutors opted not to file child abuse charges against the parents, who admitted to smoking marijuana that morning, Vincent's family is pursuing legal action. His lawyer asserts that Toosi provided false information about test results to justify ending life-saving efforts. Although Vincent is now home, he has sustained severe brain injuries, impacting his ability to swallow, causing seizures, and hindering his motor skills.
