TORONTO – A pair of Toronto police officers are being credited for helping save a newborn who had been declared dead.
It happened after the mother went into labour while walking to a hospital Sunday morning and gave birth on the sidewalk in freezing cold weather.
Paramedics rushed the mother and baby girl to hospital, where the child was declared dead.
Police, who were standing over the baby until the coroner arrived, noticed the sheet covering it’s body move.
They found a pulse and alerted doctors.
The baby is now listed in stable condition.

Wait a sec. Are paramedics and police officers are still on duty and not fired who ‘declared’ the baby is dead and even called the conor…is’nt it criminal negligence???
Can someone check the last records how many babies were ‘declared’ dead without actually thoroughly checked???
Do you know anything about medecine? Do you practice it? Are you trained? Then you have no right to pass judgment on this issue. Why would either the paramedics or the police officers deserve to be fired over this? If the child was declared dead it was done by a doctor at the hospital. The police officers who noticed the child was still alive deserve a commendation.
