Child comes back to life after drowning in AZ

Serious

Here is the article that just came out in the news today: https://www.azfamily.com/2026/03/03/child-comes-back-life-after-drowning-gilbert-backyard-pool/

“— A child has made a miraculous recovery after drowning in a backyard pool in Gilbert on Super Bowl Sunday.

While millions watched the Super Bowl, Gilbert police and fire crews were called to home near Higley and Chandler Heights roads where a child was found in a backyard pool around 5:30 p.m.

First responders performed life-saving measures on scene before the child was rushed to a nearby hospital, where the child was pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m.

Five hours later, around 11:30 p.m., Gilbert police were told the child was showing signs of life. The child was flown to another Valley hospital and is expected to survive, police said.”

There is a lot of hate in comments towards doctors and nurses. I’m curious for all of your thoughts (I’m an RN but do not work pediatric critical care).
