When a relative touched Kiara's fingers, the eight-month-old baby gripped them tightly. A nearby pharmacist found she was still breathing and called the emergency services.
A horrified dad has spoken out after mourners noticed his baby girl's hand moving in her coffin at her funeral. Cristiano Santos has shared his grief following the debacle, which saw little Kiara Crislayne de Moura dos Santos declared dead - yet then move in her own coffin.
Kiara was rushed to hospital again - around 16 hours after doctors thought she'd died - but medics pronounced life extinct again. The infant had a pulse and an oxygen saturation level of 84 per cent, which leaves patients in need to instant critical care. They had also found no trace of rigor mortis which usually stiffens a body between six and eight hours after death.
