No charges for Arizona parents in case of toddler who was alive after being declared dead
No charges will be filed against the parents of an Arizona toddler who was initially declared dead after being found in a family pool but later showed signs of life at a hospital.

The child was initially taken to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, but was later found breathing and transferred to another hospital.
