(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A doctor who certified a Mexican baby-dead which later revived in its coffin has been charged with homicide.

Dr. Jenny Gijon, who declared the infant girl dead in early August, faces homicide, abuse and misconduct charges, said Jose Rodriguez, the attorney general of Hidalgo state.

During the wake, the baby's parents heard a strange noise coming out of her cat-sized coffin and when they opened it found the baby crying. The baby was taken to hospital, but died three days later of asphyxia.

Another doctor, Dario Davila, who allegedly hired Gijon improperly to take over his shifts at the hospital, faces charges of abuse of authority and misconduct, as does the hospital's former director, his assistant and the head of the obstetrics department.

Doctors in Mexico often receive more money from private practice, but sometimes also keep themselves on the pay from other state-run hospitals.

Your thoughts?

Thats just wrong.

I have to question the Mexican Health Services

Thought the baby would of survive

how did the baby survive in the coffin, is the question.

Thats just sad.

Not afraid to say, I almost had tears.

I guess us mexicans can put up a fight before death. We're tougher than we thought.

Thats just completely wrong :\

For the people who don't know what Asphyxia is:

Asphyxia is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs.
