A premature baby girl, born as a result of induced labor, was pronounced dead Monday at the Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya, only to be discovered alive five hours later in the hospital's cooler. The mother, 26, from a Western Galilee village, was in the fifth month of her pregnancy when she underwent a series of tests, during which it was discovered that she was suffering from internal bleeding and that the embryo had ceased to show signs of life. She underwent an abortion and the baby, weighing 610 grams, was extracted from her womb without a pulse, hospital officials said. A senior doctor pronounced the baby dead and she was transferred to the cooler. Five hours later, the woman's husband came to the hospital to take what he thought was his dead baby girl for burial. When the baby was taken out of the cooler, she began to breath. The premature baby was then taken to the intensive care ward, where doctors were attempting to save her life. 08/18/08

Maybe the baby was still alive when they put her in the morgue ,if it the case that would be terrible !it could be a mistake from the doctors ,they should have kept her for at least 24 hours.
