When she, and her husband, Fabian Veron, went to the morgue, they were shown a little casket on a stretcher.

"We looked for a bar to prise it open," Veron tells reporters. "The casket was nailed shut. I started to prise, took a deep breath and took the top off. My wife was the first one to look at the body and she uncovered it slowly."

Bouter says she thought she was hallucinating when she looked at the infant, heard a whimper and saw signs of life, the Associated Press reports.

Vernon says he started uncovering her face "and it was like she was just getting up, waking up."
