Jose Alvarenga was told by doctors at a state hospital in Asuncion, the Paraguayan capital, that his son had been pronounced dead shortly after birth.
Hospital orderlies delivered the premature baby's body, which had been placed in a temporary coffin, to Mr Alvarenga's home fours hours later.Shortly afterwards, the grieving father opened the coffin to bid an emotional farewell to the infant.
"I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing," Mr Alvarenga recounted. "I began to cry." He rushed back to the hospital with his unnamed son in his arms and nurses placed the infant in an oxygen chamber.
Doctors seemed hopeful that tragedy would not strike again, describing the boy's condition as "stable".
The news of the child's miraculous recovery was then taken to his mother, who was in a bed in the same hospital.
