'Cooled' baby saved from brain damage

A stillborn baby has been miraculously brought back to life after being frozen for three days.

Little Ella Claxton had been dead for 25 minutes after she was starved of oxygen in the womb.

Medics managed to revive her but feared Ella could still die or suffer severe brain damage.

She was then taken 30 miles away to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, and placed in a cooling blanket.

The pioneering procedure protects against brain damage by forcing the organ to repair itself. Ella's temperature plummeted from 37C to 33.5C.

Nine-months on, the toddler has stunned doctors with her incredible progress.

She is being treated with physiotherapy but scans have shown no abnormalities on her brain.
