A baby who was buried for four days was exhumed from his grave after a passerby said they “heard his cries” coming from the grave.

The boy had been pronounced dead due to severe fevers at only three months old, and was buried on Sunday 10 September – the day he passed. The boy was buried in a cemetery in Protección, Honduras, but was taken back out only 4 days later.

Someone close to the grieving family said that they heard his cries when they were walking past the cemetery on Thursday 14 September. Believing the baby may have been mistakenly buried alive, they rushed to tell the family about what they heard.

The grieving family, suddenly feeling some hope of a miracle, decided to exhume the baby from its resting place to check. Heartbreaking footage shows two family members desperately praying for signs of life as the baby is taken from the ground. Another relative tries to find any sign of life in the baby with their hands on his body – but the baby doesn’t move.

According to someone close to the family, the child was taken to the hospital but “showed no signs of life”. After confirming the baby was still dead the hospital returned the body to the crushed family, who reburied the baby after the tragic ordeal.
