Newborn's head 'ripped off' during botched birth, doctor stitched up baby's neck to hide tracks
May 9, 2023

'She blinked, she was moving'
Da Silva alleged that his wife's doctor instructed him to stand close by to observe his wife's childbirth. He recalled seeing his baby daughter, Emanuelly, blinking her eyes just moments before the physician allegedly decapitated her.
"By the time they pulled her, out she blinked, she was moving," he said, as quoted by Daily Mail. "Her little heart, before leaving, was beating." The embattled father said the doctors were pulling Emanuelly's head while instructing Santos to push. "But she had no more strength," Da Silva explained. "At the last moment they did that, a bunch of people came on top of her, held, held me. (They placed) general anesthesia on her, she fainted, the child left (died), she was already fainting." The family alleges the doctor climbed on Santos' body before they "ripped off the child's head."
The hospital reportedly apologized to the family for the incident and sent a social worker to meet with them. According to the family, the social worker made an offer on behalf of the hospital to cover the child's burial costs, if the family would sign documents that stated "the autopsy had already been performed at the hospital" and that "the child's body had already been examined."
The agreement meant "the body would not be forwarded to the Legal Medical Institute (IML)" for additional examination. However, Jennifer Valente, an attorney representing the family, said the family refused to sign the documents and instead filed a complaint with local law enforcement about the incident.
Doctor 'pulls baby's head off during childbirth while horrified father watches' Ranielly Coelho Santos, the baby's mother, launched a complaint with the police two days after the failed delivery of her child. Officers are now investigating the shock death of the infant.

Hospital conducts fact-finding and analysis of the case
Santos accused the doctors of trying to cover their tracks by sewing up the girl's lacerated neck. "I was treated like an animal," the heartbroken mother reportedly told Brazilian news outlet R7. She said doctors also tried to stop her mother from uncovering Emanuelly's body before she discovered that her neck had been stitched up. "My mother saw the whole procedure. She opened the outfit, but they tried to stop my mother from opening the outfit, that's when we saw that her neck was sewn, full of marks," Santos added.
