Super Bowl party

Parents of an 18-month-old toddler who nearly drowned during a Super Bowl party and was later found alive in a hospital morgue after being declared dead will not face criminal charges. Prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to prove the parents' actions constituted a gross deviation from reasonable care, despite admitting to marijuana use and lapses in supervision. The doctor who declared the child dead may face civil action.

An 18-month-old toddler nearly drowned at a Super Bowl party and was later found breathing in a hospital morgue hours after being declared dead. Parents will not face criminal charges as prosecutors determined there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction, despite police initially recommending child abuse charges due to marijuana use and lack of supervision.

An 18-month-old toddler was mistakenly pronounced dead by a doctor after drowning during a Super Bowl party but was later found alive in the hospital morgue. The error occurred when the doctor ignored a nurse's claim of detecting a pulse and refused to continue life-saving measures, leading to the child being placed in the morgue before being revived. The parents, who admitted to using marijuana and neglecting the child, may face child abuse charges.
