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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
First responders were dispatched and performed life-saving measures, before the child was transported to hospital and declared dead an hour later. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“I went to medical school for a reason,” Toosi said.<\/p>\n
Family had gathered to watch the NFL Super Bowl game when police were called to the scene for a reported drowning. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
“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. <\/p>\n
“Time of death 18:20. Moment of silence,” the doctor said.<\/p>\n
A transporter from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office arrived to hospital five hours later and found the child to still be breathing, according to police. <\/p>\n
He was flown to another hospital where he recovered and has since been released. <\/p>\n
Medical records for the child were not included in the police report, leaving uncertainty about what exactly happened. <\/p>\n
The doctor’s attorney, Scott Holden, told the Associated Press “that there is much more to this case, both factually and medically, than has been reported thus far”.<\/p>\n
The BBC has reached out to Toosi’s lawyer for comment.<\/p>\n
Police are recommending negligence charges against the parents. <\/p>\n
According to the police report, investigators said there was a strong smell of marijuana at the home, which led them to believe the child could have had unsupervised access to the pool. <\/p>\n
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has not yet said if it would seek to press charges.<\/p>\n
Mercy Gilbert Medical Center said in a statement that the hospital conducted “a thorough review of all aspects of the care provided to learn what happened and to make meaningful changes to strengthen our care”. <\/p>\n
The hospital called it “a heartbreaking situation” and has declined to release any further details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
