(Newser) – It was almost a miracle: A Brazilian baby believed to be dead started crying at the funeral home where an undertaker was about to prepare her for burial, reports the AP. Cops say doctors declared the infant dead yesterday, moments after her 14-year-old mother gave birth to her two months early. The newborn was quickly taken back to the hospital and placed in intensive care, but died today "of multiple organ failure caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood," says a hospital rep.

A preemy baby suffocated because it was improperly declared "dead" and for a day was not in NICU on oxygen.
