Faridpur: The newborn baby, who was found alive while being buried at Alipur graveyard of Faridpur town on Thursday morning six hours after a doctor declared it dead, died at a hospital in Dhaka on Sunday night.

Earlier on Saturday, the baby was airlifted to Dhaka for better treatment. She was put on life support at Dhaka’s Square Hospitals Ltd on Sunday following deterioration of her condition.

Doctors at the hospital removed the life support of Galiba Hayat after about 10:30 pm, said her father Nazmul Huda Mithu, a player of Faridpur cricket team.

Six hours after a physician declared it dead; the newborn baby was found alive while being buried at Alipur graveyard of the district town on 22 September morning.

Najnin Akhter Popy, wife of cricketer Nazmul Huda Mithu, was taken to Dr Jahid Memorial Child Hospital in Faridpur at about 12:30am on the same day after she complained of labour pain. Popy gave birth to a baby girl through normal delivery only after 24 weeks of her pregnancy.

However, Rezia Alam, a physician of the hospital, declared the baby dead two hours after its birth. Later, the family members took the baby in a carton to the graveyard at night for burial. They left the graveyard keeping the carton with the baby inside it at a grave as the authority of the graveyard asked them to come in the morning.

The family members and locals again came to the graveyard in the morning to bury the girl. However, it cried out when the carton was opened. Later, the baby girl was taken to the same hospital.
