Found Alive CO - Nain Dominguez, 2, Colorado Springs, 17 March 2018 (now deceased)

[Steelslady]

I'm just wondering if they've officially ruled this an accidental drowning? I'm really curious about the shoes being in the creek and not on Nain when they found him.

I'm curious about him still being alive. I don't understand how that's possible.

I think it may be because they are not dead until they are warm and dead. (I am sorry if that is too blunt. )

This source says yes. I can't find any other sources confirming this update though, which seems odd. I'm kind of surprised they have concluded the investigation so quickly.

None of this answers how they missed him in the initial search. Very surprising as to the speed of this conclusion.

Indeed that is the rule for winter/water and winter/hypothermia events. One is not declared until the core body temperature has been brought back up to level. Many a persons have been successfully revived in such situations, some with no long term health effects -- especially when entire body is submerged very quickly and experiences a sudden, rapid decrease in core body temperature.
