Newborn baby in Brazil survives after being buried alive
Brazilian police say the newborn girl miraculously
survived after being buried alive for seven hours in the central state
of Mato Grosso.
The Mato Grosso state
police department said in an email on Saturday last week that a 15-year-old gave
birth earlier in the week, but believed the baby had died and buried her
in the backyard of the indigenous family’s house.
The police received an anonymous tip related to the burial and dug up the baby, who was hospitalised and said to be in stable condition.

The baby’s grandmother and great-grandmother were taken into custody pending an investigation.
