Woman in coma for decade gives birth - sexual assault investigated

In a shocking incident, a woman who was in a vegetative state for more than a decade suddenly went into labour and gave birth to a baby boy.

 

The woman was awake but immobile and unaware of her surroundings. She has been receiving care at Phoenix Hacienda HealthCare facility. However, after Christmas, the woman went into labour, shocking her caretakers. Reportedly, none of the hospital staff was aware that she was pregnant.

 

The patient gave birth to a boy on December 29. It is almost certain that a sexual assault on the vulnerable woman led to the pregnancy. Though no arrests have been made so far, an investigation is currently in full swing.
