JERUSALEM, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- A premature baby who was pronounced dead "came back to life" after being put in a cooler for five hours in Nahariya Hospital, local daily Jerusalem Post reported Monday on its website.
The baby girl, born as a result of induced labor, was announced dead by a senior doctor and was transferred to the cooler.
But the baby's father, who came to the hospital to take what he thought was his dead baby girl for burial five hours later, found his baby began to breathe after being taken out of the cooler.
The premature baby was then taken to the intensive care ward, where doctors were attempting to save her life.
Doctors estimated that the cooler brought the fetus "back to life," the report said.
The mother, 26, from a Western Galilee village, was in the fifth month of her pregnancy when she underwent a series of tests and was discovered that she was suffering from internal bleeding and that the embryo had ceased to show signs of life.
The woman underwent an abortion and the baby, weighing 610 grams, was extracted from her womb without a pulse, hospital officials was quoted as saying.
