Two alert police officers are credited with saving the life of a baby girl who was wrongly declared dead after being born outside in freezing temperatures in Toronto. The girl’s mother had attempted to walk to a hospital in temperatures around zero Fahrenheit, but she didn’t make it and ended up giving birth on a frigid sidewalk, the Toronto Star reports. Hospital staff tried to revive the newborn, but she was declared dead and covered with a sheet. Two police officers waited with the body for the coroner to arrive and after almost two hours, one of them spotted movement under the sheet. The officer felt for a pulse and alerted medical staff, who confirmed the baby was alive.
