Boy starts breathing as he's prepared for funeral
Toddler had been pronounced dead after drowning

The Associated Press
Updated: 1:53 p.m. ET May 28, 2004

BOISE, Idaho - A hospital worker preparing a 22-month-old for a funeral home noticed the boy was breathing more than an hour after he had been pronounced dead from drowning.

Logan Pinto apparently wandered away from his baby sitter Thursday and fell into a canal near his home in Rexburg, about 275 miles east of Boise. He was submerged for nearly 30 minutes before police found him a half-mile downstream, said Rexburg police Capt. Randy Lewis.

Though an officer gave him CPR and emergency workers did everything they could to revive him, Lewis said, the boy was pronounced dead when it appeared the effort had failed. After giving the boys mother and stepfather Debra and Joe Gould some time to say goodbye, Madison Memorial Hospital nurse Mary Zollinger began to prepare Logans body for the funeral home.

But when she looked at the boy, she noticed his chest was slightly moving and realized that Logan was alive.

The boy was flown to Primary Childrens Medical Center in Salt Lake City, where he was listed in critical condition Friday. Late Thursday, he was breathing on his own and his color had returned, but he was placed back on a respirator Friday, Lewis said.

Im just amazed and overwhelmed with what took place, Lewis said. They aggressively worked on him for quite a bit of time, and of course its a bad situation when you have to let the parents know that their son has passed away.

But despair turned to joy when emergency workers learned the boy was alive.

Its called divine intervention, I think. I was dumbfounded. I couldnt believe it hardly, especially after leaving there and seeing what had transpired, Lewis said. I dont know how to explain it. Its joyous and relieving.

Let's hope he didn't suffer any permanent brain damage.

The boy may have brain damage if his brain didn't get oxygen for several minutes. But maybe he started breathing right after they pronounce him dead, but if he's under water for 30-minutes... Sad

But don't babies have a natural abilty to swim in the water?

Must have been coma - very low heartbeat - very low amount of oxygen required

Thank God!! Just imagine what he will tell his friends when he gets older. I imagine the baby sitter is fired.

I guess we'll have to put bells on tombstones again.

as someone who knows a baby who suffered just about this same thing a year and a half ago. I would say it is quite a miracle that this baby began to breathe again.

Sadly, there is almost no chance that he wont suffer some sort of brain damage from this.

The ironic part is, the little boy I know who nearly drowned, was also named Logan.

Good news is, our Logan continues to make strides towards recovery.
