A grieving Paraguayan man opened his baby son's coffin - and discovered he was still alive.
Jose Alvarenga was told by doctors at a hospital in Asuncion that his son had been pronounced dead shortly after birth.
Hospital orderlies delivered the premature baby's body, which had been placed in a temporary coffin, to Mr Alvarenga's home fours hours later.
Shortly afterwards, the grieving father opened the coffin to bid an emotional farewell to the infant, reports the Daily Telegraph.
"I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing," Mr Alvarenga said. "I began to cry."
He rushed back to the hospital with his unnamed son in his arms and nurses placed the infant in an oxygen chamber.
Doctors seemed hopeful that tragedy would not strike again, describing the boy's condition as "stable".

the craziest thing is that if he didn't open the coffin to look at his son one last time then he would have been buried alive.
Yeah, that's really messed up and sad. It could've been really tragic and no one would've known.
Anybody see "The Serpent and the Rainbow?" Zombies, Voodoo, and burying people alive!
Bill Pullman: "Don't bury me...I'm alive!"
Actually, the story you cite here is really awful. I'm glad it turned out for the best. Geez, what a story to tell your kid when he is older...
I actually saw S & the R recently. What a great, bad movie!
It IS a schlocky movie...but also kind of really creepy. God bless you, Wes!
Angel Heart is a bad film in a somewhat similiar vein. I've been thinking about it since it stars Mickey Rourke and I'd seen The Wrestler. (It's a freakin' horror show what that guy did to his face!) Mickey and Lisa Bonet have a sex scene where gallons of blood pours down on them from out of nowhere. DeNiro was the devil--I think Bonet was his daughter. Don't remember too much of it, but it was terrible.
Of topic, but I gotta say that Jeff Goldblum is really quite good in L&O: Criminal Intent. The episode that was on last Sunday night was excellent (terrorist dad and daughter), as was JG.
