Arizona police recommend felony child abuse charges after toddler found alive in hospital morgue

Arizona police have recommended felony child abuse charges against the parents of an 18-month-old boy, Vincent Fiordilino, who nearly drowned during a Super Bowl party. Investigators allege the parents were impaired by marijuana and failed to supervise the child properly. After being pulled from a backyard swimming pool, Vincent was initially pronounced dead at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center but was later found alive in the hospital morgue. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is reviewing the police recommendation, but no charges have been filed against the parents as of now. The police report indicates that both parents admitted to smoking marijuana during the party, which contributed to their inability to notice Vincent's absence. Following the incident, a hospital review was conducted, and a spokesperson stated that patient safety is a priority. A GoFundMe campaign for Vincent described him as a 'miracle baby' and noted that he is undergoing ongoing medical treatment and therapy as he recovers.
