‘Stillborn’ Baby Found by Grieving Mother Alive in Argentinian Morgue
A premature baby thought to be stillborn was found by her mother, alive, after 12 hours in a morgue in northern Argentina.
Analia Bouter was only six months pregnant when she went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl she’d planned to name Liliana Abigail or Luciana Abigail. The baby was to be her fifth child, but when the little girl was born on April 3rd at 10:24 AM, doctors told Bouter that her daughter was stillborn. The distraught parents returned home to grieve, in possession of a death certificate citing “unknown causes” instead of their baby girl.
But Bouter couldn’t bear to leave her daughter in the morgue without at least getting a picture of the child- and she got a massive shock when she returned to visit her baby’s “body.” The mother of five said she believed she was hallucinating, because when the drawer in which the child resided was opened, she heard a cry- and she says she observed her tiny, frost-covered child breathing after twelve hours in the morgue refrigerator.
Bouter says:
“We went to the morgue, and they showed us the casket nailed closed. My husband managed to open the drawer, where we found her wrapped in a white sheet and saw her tiny hand touch her face… I fell to my knees.”
She explains that the little girl was literally ice cold after her half-day languishing in the drawer:
“My baby was born at 10:24am and at 11:05am was already in the drawer. She spent 12 hours in the freezing cold of that morgue. I saw for myself the ice on her body.”
Investigations are underway as to how the error could have occurred. Chaco province undersecretary for health Rafael Sabatinelli said the incident will be investigated fully, and commented:
“Every member of the team that was involved has some responsibility, so they will have to answer for this.”
After the strange circumstances of her birth and survival, the baby’s parents have opted to call her “Luz Milagros,” which roughly translates to “Miracle Light.”

And who says there is no God? Not only did he give the child life, he led the mom to her. That clearly proves God is in charge. We were not created by amoeba with no purpose. God made us and gave us life. Beautiful story.

The babys mommy and daddy and family cares. You're an ASSHOLE for even saying that. Let your baby go to the morgue and still be alive and freezing for 12 hours and then see and say who cares….

Poor little angel! Safe with mommy now!
Hopefully the hospital is held accountable. She had better not receive a bill…
Apr 12, 2012
after my ob rotation in nursing school I'm amazed this baby survived and hope she doesn't have debilitating problems from being basically frozen
Apr 12, 2012
Gabriel said that everything was possible through God. If God wants a six month term baby to live after being pronounced dead and be in a nailed shut in a coffin for 12 hours and covered in frost after being in a cold morgue, then the baby will live regardless of what man thinks. The Quran states that God chooses who he favors and he favors her for reasons of his own.
Apr 12, 2012
Wow! Great ending! So much news is negative and though there are many questions to be answered as to why the doctors etc claimed the baby was stillborn; this is just a miracle! Loved thiss
Apr 12, 2012
God is good…. ((doctors, maybe, not so good))
Apr 12, 2012
Crazy!
Apr 12, 2012
Reading that made my body go numb. Can you imagine?!
Apr 12, 2012
I cannot imagine! I don't know even what emotion would strike me first…elation or wanting completely flip!
Apr 12, 2012
GOD is GREAT!
Apr 12, 2012
God blessed this little girl for a special reason and she had to have the fight in her to wanna survive this horrible ordeal. She will be a force to be recognized, as she gets older. Way to go Luz Milagros!
Apr 12, 2012
Hey JJ,God is good! Sooooo happy the baby is doing well:)

God had nothing to do with it. Stillbirths wouldn't happen if there was an all loving god watching over us. Take your religion and shove it, and enjoy the remarkable story for what it is.
Jul 2, 2012
That's no miracle. That's gross incompetence and an absolutely devoted parent! What an horrific and at the same time excellent story.
Sep 15, 2012
hello Janice I hope you see this and befriend me CREEKWOOD in the house

@Help me find Billie – What a moronic reply this is. Obviously it WASN'T a still birth you imbecile. It was negligence on the part of the hospital staff or just a conspiracy to harvest body parts. I do not go through life attributing everything to God but if ever there were an account, this would be up there in the top 10.
Now sit down you clown!
Nov 18, 2012
Ashley I was thinking the same thing. Also if it is being done on purpose to harvest body parts.
