Parents sue after son mistakenly declared dead

The parents of an 8- year- old boy have sued a Chicago hospital, alleging doctors pronounced their son dead though hewas still alive.

The lawsuit, filed last week, accusesMercyHospital andMedical Center of negligence.

It says doctors refused to listen to relatives of Jaylen Dorseywhen they insisted the Chicago boy’s eyes and bodywere still moving.

The suit says nearly five hours passed before staff agreed to perform a cardiac ultrasound that showed Jaylen’s heartwas beating.

Jaylenwas taken to MercyHospital in February after his parents found him unresponsive.

Hospital officials deny the allegations. They say Jaylen suffered full cardiac arrest and doctors treated him for “an extended period of time” before declaring him dead.
