The newborn baby, who was found alive while being buried at Alipur graveyard in Faridpur town on Thursday morning, six hours after a doctor declared it dead, finally died at a hospital in the capital yesterday night, reports UNB. Doctors at Square Hospitals Ltd removed the life support of Galiba Hayat after 10:30 pm, said her father Nazmul Huda Mithu, a player of the district cricket team. Earlier on Saturday, the baby girl was sent to Dhaka by a helicopter for better treatment. She was put on life support on Sunday following deterioration of her condition. Six hours after a physician declared it dead, the newborn baby was found alive while being buried at Alipur graveyard of the district town on Thursday morning.
Advocate Najnin Akhter Popy, wife of cricketer Nazmul Huda Mithu, was taken to Dr Jahid Memorial Child Hospital in the district town around 12:30 am on Thursday after she complained of labour pain. Popy gave birth to a baby girl through normal delivery
only after 24 weeks of her pregnancy.
However, Rezia Alam, a physician of the hospital, declared the baby dead two hours after its birth. Later, the family members took the baby in a carton to the graveyard at night for burial. They left the graveyard keeping the carton with the baby inside it at a grave as the authority of the graveyard asked them to come in the morning. The family members and locals again came to the graveyard in the morning to bury the girl. However, it cried out when the carton was opened. Later, the baby was taken to the hospital.
