Bless his little heart!

Wow! So many what ifs come to mind, but I can't speak or write any of them because they are so horrific. Thank goodness the father looked and noticed! It kind of reminds me of an Unsolved Mysteries story I saw several years ago. A newborn baby had been declared dead, and the family was holding him and taking pictures. A family member noticed small movements, but was told they were involuntary. Then they noticed his color was coming back. Finally they insisted the baby be checked again, and a heartbeat was detected. He'd been "dead" for something like a half hour!
I heard this baby died yesterday. Did anyone else hear that?

Paraguay baby loses fight to live
A baby who was found alive hours after being declared dead at a hospital in Paraguay has lost his fight for life.

I can understand that the dr. may have not done the correct tests on the vital signs and thats how the fact the baby was alive was missed. But, what I don't get is I thought a body had to be embalmed before being put into a coffin for burial. Is this not true? I just don't understand how you can open a coffin and find a living baby in there.
