After finding the child alive, the crematorium notified his father and the baby was taken to a hospital intensive care unit.
"It's the first time I've seen this. It's a true miracle," said a doctor at the Pan'an hospital where the infant was born prematurely in January.
The child spent 23 days in an incubator and was then taken home by his father, who wanted him there for the start of the Lunar New Year.
But the baby's condition worsened a few days after returning home. He was declared dead on February 4 after a doctor decided his heart had stopped beating.
