That boy was a for an hour. In some cases extremely cold water can play a crucial role as a mammalian diving reflex can clamp the larynx closed and slow respiration and heart rate. This is why you are not suppose to declare death unless they are warm and dead. This drowning was in phoenix so cold couldn’t have played a role. A body of someone brain dead can absolutely move or jerk or gasp even though they are medically dead. This is obviously malpractice from the doctor. They should be checking the brain for any sign of life.

In my situation, we were able to get the child’s heart beating again, but his brain was gone and there was no saving him. Perhaps there was a bit of luck putting this baby in the cold room. This is the exact treatment that can be used for child drowning victims to limit brain damage and brain/organ swelling.
