A father has described his shock at finding his 'dead' baby had come back to life when he said goodbye at the wake.

Jose Alvarenga's son was born prematurely in Asuncion, Paraguay, weighing just 500 grams (17.6 ounces).

The infant was pronounced dead on Thursday and officials put the tiny body in a box and took it to his parents house four hours later.

Mr Alvarenga said: "I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing. I began to cry."

He hurried back to the hospital where his partner was receiving treatment, and nurses put the baby in an incubator.

The infant is understood to be in a stable condition.

Wouldn’t that be “cowpersons” ?

Now that you mention it, yes.

Come to think of it, "cow" is a little too speciesist. Maybe "non-human animal persons".

[head of paediatric intensive care, Ernesto Weber] said the doctor in charge may not have properly checked the baby.

MAY not have? Yikes! Better get the poor little tot out of that genius' PICU before they inflict any more of their brillant expertise on him.

“Better get the poor little tot out of that genius’ PICU before they inflict any more of their brillant expertise on him.”

The “PICU” reminds me of the story that skier Picabo Street was going to donate the money for an ICU wing that would be called, in her honor, Picabo ICU.

From Wikipedia: ‘Her given name was inspired by the nearby Idaho town of Picabo, (pronounced “Peekaboo”), a Native American word meaning “shining waters”.’

Yeah. . .”partner” is Brit speak to make same-sex, unmarried and married couples stand the same in the publics eye.

No one is married, everyone is a partner. . .and besides, its all so temporary, after all, and partner just reflects this “fact.”

If you identify someone as married, that is bigoted and hurtful to those that can't get married.

Good thing Obummer wasn’t there. He would’ve taken into a utility closet and killed it.
