Arizona family sues after toddler declared dead in error, found alive in morgue
Alexus Fiordilino is suing Dr. Aryan Toosi and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center after her 18-month-old son, Vincent, was pronounced dead in error on Super Bowl Sunday 2026. Vincent was placed in a hospital morgue for over five hours before being found breathing by a medical examiner. The family alleges the doctor relied on blood gas results that were not available until 18 minutes after the time of death was called. Vincent now suffers severe, permanent brain injuries, and the family is pursuing civil action after police declined to file criminal charges against medical staff.
