An 18-month-old boy in Gilbert, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix), who was declared dead at a hospital following a backyard pool drowning on 8 February, was later found breathing by a morgue transport worker nearly five hours after his time of death was officially recorded. A newly released police report reveals that officers had flagged signs of life to the attending physician, Dr Aryan Toosi, who dismissed their concerns before pronouncing the child dead; the toddler was subsequently flown to another facility, recovered, and has since been discharged. Police are recommending negligence charges against the parents, citing a strong smell of marijuana at the home and concerns about unsupervised access to the pool, while Mercy Gilbert Medical Center says it has conducted a thorough internal review and is making changes to its care practices.
