'Dead' baby found crying in funeral home before his cremation dies in hospital

A "dead" baby found alive in a funeral home before he was set to be cremated has now died in hospital.

The Chinese boy was initially pronounced dead by doctors in China early last week.

But staff members at a funeral home heard the baby crying as preparations were being made for his cremation.

He was then rushed back to the Anhui Provincial Children’s Hospital in Hefei, China, but died of internal bleeding and multiple organ failure on Friday.

The boy was initially admitted to the hospital on October 28 with pneumonia and injuries to his brain.

As reported by Shanghai daily. com, his parents were told by an expert they had contacted that treatment or surgery would not be a success.

It is claimed they signed a document to give permission for medics to stop treating him.

Last Monday, after the tot's condition worsened, a doctor issued a death certificate.

But after being sent to the funeral home, he was found alive last Wednesday and returned to the hospital.

A doctor's licence has now been revoked and hospital executives have also been disciplined following the incident.
