A three-year-old girl awoke at her funeral after being declared dead by an error by medical professionals. According to the regional newspaper El Universal, the incident happened on August 17 in Mexico.
Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza, the girl’s mother, has charged the neighborhood hospital with negligence for informing her that her daughter had passed away.
In her birthplace of Villa de Ramos, the toddler’s family brought her to the hospital after she complained of stomach aches, vomiting, and a fever.
The girl’s mother Mary Jane Mendoza was instructed to take her to a larger hospital by the neighborhood pediatrician.
However, while the three-year-old was being discharged, the doctor also prescribed paracetamol.
Camila’s mother reportedly went to another doctor after her condition continued to worsen, as per the El Universal. He advised the mother to give the toddler fruits and water, and he prescribed a different medication.
The girl’s family brought her to a hospital’s emergency room after noticing no improvement in her condition.
According to the mother, who was quoted by the New York Post, the hospital staff took a long time to supply oxygen to her. The physicians provided intravenous fluids for ten minutes before removing it and asked that Ms. Mendoza “let her rest in peace,” according to the outlet.
The doctors declared dehydration as the official reason for the girl’s death.

When the burial was held the next day, Ms. Mendoza observed a weird clouding of a glass panel inside her daughter’s coffin. According to the Post, the mourners originally disregarded her claims, claiming she was “hallucinating” due to her inability to cope with the death of her kid.
But when Camila’s grandmother noticed her eyelids blinking, she startlingly realized the child had a pulse.
The girl was once more sent to the hospital in an ambulance where she was confirmed dead after another failed attempt to resuscitate her due to brain swelling, as stated in the Post report.
Ms. Mendoza has now filed a case against the medical professionals who pronounced her dead.
The San Luis Potosi State Attorney General has launched an investigation.
MIRROR Report :
A three-year-old girl awakened at her funeral own burial after being declared dead by physicians due to a gastrointestinal ailment.
Mexico native Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza was pronounced dead 12 hours earlier on Wednesday, August 17. The toddler supposedly woke up at her burial because physicians allegedly misdiagnosed her the first time.
She was transferred “a second time” to the hospital where she unfortunately passed away. The incidents happened at the Salinas de Hidalgo Community Hospital in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosi.
Mary Jane Mendoza, Camila’s mother, claimed that the three-year-old was throwing up, suffering from a stomach ache, and running a fever. In the family’s hometown of Villa del Carmen, she was brought to a pediatrician.
