Mother, Mary Jane, filed lawsuit after her 3-year-old daughter, Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza, woke up at her own funeral after doctors wrongly declared she had died

A toddler was declared dead by doctors, but relatives at her funeral later realized she was, in fact, alive, according to Fox News. 

Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza, 3, was taken to Salinas de Hidalgo Basic Community Hospital in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosí to be treated for dehydration on August 17, and then she was sent home from the hospital but soon the child’s condition became worst. 

Her parents took her back to the same hospital. Doctors later told the mother that her daughter, Camila had died from dehydration. Now Mary Jane says she is filing a lawsuit against the hospital, accusing the staff of negligence for allegedly declaring Camila dead too soon.

“What I really want is for justice to be served. I have no grudge against the doctors [who] went to extreme [measures],” she said. “I only ask that the doctors, nurses, and directors be changed so that it does not happen again.”
