Boy survives 20 hours in snow
NZPA-Reuter Vienna A Bulgarian boy, aged 10, clinically dead after lying in the snow in subzero temperatures for 20 hours, had been revived by a country doctor, the official Bulgarian news agency, 8.T.A., said yesterday. The boy, identified only as Stefan, had lost his way in a snowstorm last week near the town of Kurdalji, in southern Bulgaria, and
was found covered in snow the next day by a hunter. He carried the boy 7km to a village where the local doctor, using blankets and hot stones, had revived him after two hours though he remained unconscious. The boy was taken to hospital in Momchilgrad, where he regained consciousness, and was now well, B.T.A. said.
