An 18-month-old boy, Vincent Fiordilino, is reported to have been found alive after being declared dead following a pool fall in Phoenix, Arizona. According to multiple outlets, the toddler was discovered after falling into a pool and was taken to medical care. Hours later, a doctor declared him dead, though the reports say he was subsequently located alive, breathing, in the morgue. The accounts describe the child as being discovered while still in the morgue rather than later after discharge or re-evaluation. The incident has prompted attention to the circumstances around the declaration of death and the procedures used in the hours between the initial medical assessment and the finding in the morgue. The reports focus on the timeline: the pool incident, the doctor’s declaration of death, and the later discovery that the toddler was still alive. Authorities and medical services are expected to review the case as questions are raised about how the death declaration occurred and how the child’s condition was assessed at the time.
