One-and-a-half-year-old boy declared dead at Hubballi KIMS Hospital found alive before funeral
Dharwad: A one-and-a-half-year-old boy, who was pronounced dead at the KIMS Hospital in Hubballi, was discovered to be alive when his body was brought back to Basapura village of Navalgund taluk for final rites.
The child, identified as Akash Basavaraja Pujara, had been admitted to KIMS Hospital in Hubballi due to his deteriorating health over the past few days. Faced with Akash's apparent lack of response to medical intervention, the medical professionals at KIMS Hospital concluded that the boy's heart had ceased to beat and declared him dead. Subsequently, the boy's lifeless body was transported to his village for the last rites.

The boy's body was brought back to the village, where his parents performed the funeral rituals but then, suddenly found their son to be breathing again.
The parents got Akash admitted to the hospital at Navalgund. As the hospital lacked a ventilator, the boy was moved back to KIMS Hospital and is being treated at the ICU.
KIMS Hospital, however, later clarified that the child was alive when the family had discharged him and left the hospital and that he was not declared dead by the hospital. "We did not give any certificate that the child was dead," KIMS director Ramalingappa Antarathani clarified.
