Arizona toddler found alive in morgue after being declared dead from drowning

A US toddler who was found unresponsive in an Arizona pool and declared dead was later discovered to be alive in the hospital's "cold room", a newly released police report shows. The family of the 18-month-old frantically called police after they found him face down in the pool at a home in the Phoenix-area suburb of Gilbert on 8 February. First responders were dispatched and performed life-saving measures, before the child was transported to hospital and declared dead an hour later. According to the police report, officers told a physician at the hospital, Dr Aryan Toosi, that they had seen signs of life. The doctor responded, "please do your thing and let me do my thing", the report says. "I went to medical school for a reason," Toosi said, according to the report. Family had gathered to watch the NFL Super Bowl game when police were called to the scene for a reported drowning. Gilbert police arrived to the home around 17:30 MST (00:30 GMT), before the child was taken to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and pronounced dead at 18:20. "If there's no objections, I'd like to call time of death," Toosi said, according to police officer bodycam video obtained by a local NBC News affiliate.
