Udupi, Nov 8, 2013 : It was nothing short of a miracle. A newborn premature baby which was pronounced dead by doctors, was found alive minutes before it was supposed to be  cremated on November 6, Thursday.

Manjula and her husband Nagaraj from Bellary, both quarry workers at Bantakal near Shirva  had been to a hospital for check-up  as Manjula was six months pregnant. At the hospital, Manjula  developed labour pains and  delivered  a baby very soon.

As the child was premature doctors advised that it be taken to Manipal Hospital.

Accordingly, the couple took the child to KMC Hospital, Manipal where doctors declared it dead. The agonized couple  were making arrangements for the cremation of the child and decided to have one final look at the baby before cremation. To their utter  shock, they found that the child was breathing and immediately took it to the District Hospital.

Doctors there tested the child and said it was alive. The condition of the baby is said to be critical.
