Baby who came alive during burial dies
JITRA: Villagers in Kampung Padang gathered for the second time yesterday to bury Nor Adawiyah, a baby girl who died after a premature birth.
Nor Adawiyah was born at about 11am on Sunday at the hospital here but a doctor declared her to be stillborn.
Her father, Azmi Masiron, 26, took her home for burial services but her grandmother Che Su Ahmad, 65, saw the baby move as burial preparations were underway.

Eight hours later, she was again confirmed dead.
Nor Adawiyah was finally buried at the Kampung Rahmat Muslim Cemetery at 10am yesterday.
Azmi, a school canteen operator, said the doctors did not explain his daughter’s death for the second time.
Azmi lodged a police report on the incident yesterday afternoon. Kedah Health Department director Dr Hasnah Ismail said the mother had a miscarriage when her pregnancy was about six months' old.
“The doctor found no heartbeat on the baby and she called the father to confirm the finding and asked him to claim the body for burial,” she said when contacted yesterday.
She said the department would set up a committee to investigate how the infant returned to life an hour after she was pronounced dead.
