CZIn February, an 18-month-old boy named Vincent was pronounced dead by a doctor at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center in Arizona after he drowned in a pool. However, hospital staff noticed signs of life, including weak pulse and breathing, which were ignored by the attending physician. Despite this, the child was moved to the morgue before being discovered alive by a forensic doctor hours later. He was then rushed to a children’s hospital in Phoenix for treatment. Investigations revealed that the doctor who declared Vincent dead had an osteopathic license rather than a medical degree. Meanwhile, police reported that both parents tested positive for THC, leading to calls for criminal charges against them, though no formal decision has been made yet. The family has launched an online fundraiser to support Vincent’s ongoing care.
