An Arizona toddler was found alive inside a hospital morgue nearly five hours after a doctor mistakenly declared him dead, a bombshell report has claimed. The 18-month-old boy, who has not been identified, was discovered inside a family's pool in Gilbert around 5.30pm on February 8 and rushed to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. The child was pronounced dead soon after arriving at the hospital, but five and a half hours later, medical staff walked into the morgue to find that he was still alive. Early reports suggested that the bizarre incident was some sort of miracle, but the grave 'error' was allegedly made by a doctor, according to a damning police report obtained by ABC15. A series of heavily blurred police bodycam footage also obtained by the outlet showed the emergency unfold as officers and paramedics arrived at the home before speeding him over to the hospital that day. Once they arrived, a police officer recalled in the report that he heard a nurse state: 'I have a pulse', leading him to alert the doctor handling the case, records stated. But when he did so, the male physician, who has not been named, appeared to brush off his concern, the cop wrote in his report.
