Baby girl pronounced dead at birth 'comes back to life' three hours later  after being left on hospital chapel’s altar
  • The body of Yasmin Gomes had been  placed in a box and left in the chapel  
  • Nurse 'couldn’t face sending her  to the morgue', according to reports  
  • Grandmother arrived to collect  body for burial when baby suddenly kicked



A baby girl pronounced dead at birth  'came back to life' three hours later on the altar of a hospital chapel, it  was reported today.


The body of Yasmin Gomes had been  placed in a box and left in the chapel at the hospital in Londrina, south  Brazil, by a nurse who 'couldn't face sending her to the morgue', according to  reports.


But when the newborn's grieving  grandmother arrived with a mortician to pick up her body for burial they were  stunned when the baby suddenly kicked one of her legs, then opened her  eyes.

 

The baby's grandmother Elza Silva  told Brazil's Globo G1 website: 'At first I couldn't believe it, we couldn't  accept that it could happen.



'Then we saw that she was breathing.  We hugged each other and started to shout, 'she's alive, she's alive'. It was  a miracle.'


Hospital records show Yasmin was born  alive after a normal birth on Tuesday morning at the Lincoln Graca hospital,  but stopped breathing immediately after birth.


Doctors unsuccessfully tried to  revive the baby several times but she was finally declared dead at 11am, and a  death certificate issued.


Yasmin's mother Jenifer da Silva  Gomes, 22, told Brazils Tanosite website she was the first to be told that he  daughter had died.


She recalled: 'My world crashed down  right then. It was the most desperate moment when all my dreams were snatched  away.'


Nurse Ana Claudia Oliveira, who  accompanied the birth, said she asked for the baby's body to be laid in the  hospital chapel, instead of the normal procedure of being sent to the  refrigerated morgue.


She said: 'She's a little angel, a  child. I just couldn't face the thought of her being sent down to the  morgue.'


She added that she washed and dressed  the dead baby and had no doubt that she was dead.


She said: 'I can assure you, the  child was dead. Her pupils didn't respond to light. All her signs pointed to  the complete absence of life.


'I saw it with my own eyes. She was  blue all over, completely dead,' she said.

Yasmin's father Cleverson Carlos  Gomes, 26, said he received the news where he was waiting in the hospital's  corridor and went straight to the chapel.


He said: 'I saw my daughter's pale,  lifeless body. I couldn't stay there. I ran out of the chapel in  tears.'


Yasmin's body remained in a box in  the chapel until 2pm, when her grandmother arrived with the owner of a funeral  parlour, family friend Rosilis Ferro, carrying the baby's coffin.


But as soon as they went to pick her  up, the newborn kicked a leg, according to Ms Ferro.

She said: 'It was an incredibly  emotional moment. I began to shake and I couldn't speak, I was overwhelmed  with happiness.


'I called a nurse who at first didn't  believe it, she told us they were just spasms. But then the baby opened her  eyes.'


Mum Jennifer said she was still being  comforted by family members when a nurse burst into the room and shouted:  'Your daughter's alive'.


She remembered: 'At first I had no  reaction, I didn't know what to think. Then I started to be sick. But after  that I couldn't contain my happiness.'


The baby was rushed to an intensive  care unit at the nearby Sagrada Familia children's hospital, where her  condition is described as stable.


Doctor Aurelio Filipak, who battled  to save Yasmin and signed her death certificate, said: 'People can make their  own conclusions, but only those who were there know what really  happened.


'In 20 years of medicine, I have  never witnessed anything like this.'


He said a team of medics tried to  resussitate the baby for nearly an hour. 'All the equipment, like the cardiac  monitor and oximeter, all showed that she was not breathing and had no heart  beat,' he added.


Today Yasmin's family said they plan  to change her name to include Victoria - 'victory' in Portuguese - and said  they believed her 'ressurection' was a miracle.


Jennifer said: 'There is no  explaining miracles. They happen as God wants. If it was his will that our  daughter had died, we would have accepted it, but he brought her back, so  there must be a higher purpose in all this.'

Come on folks, they are stealing body parts left and right. Aborted babies organs, are harvested and for sale. A group was recently caught running an organ smuggling ring. People have proven, after being told a family member was brain dead, to donate the body parts, and one father was allowed to watch, yet saw the eyes of his son fluttering in a panic. He was devastated, they said it was nerves. He investigated and found many other cases. The kid was not brain dead and felt the pain. This child may have been given a drug, and thank God for the loving parents. Some rich person either need a baby or body parts. Money talks and this ir big business, Remove organ donor from license.
