Turkish couples were shocked when their stillborn baby started to cry just minutes before they were due to bury him in a cemetery.
Melek Sert was 32 years old and Hasan Sert was 34. They were heartbroken to hear that the Yuregir State Hospital in Adana (Turkey) had told them that the baby didn’t survive delivery.
Medical staff even issued a death certificate to the baby, which was born on January 2 at five months old. They believed it had been miscarriaged.
When his son began to cry in the car, the father took him to the cemetery.
The little boy was quickly rushed to the hospital and is currently fighting for his survival.
