A doctor in Poland says it is a ‘miracle’ that a two year-old toddler survived after being found unconscious in sub-zero temperatures.

Adam wondered off from his grandmother’s house near Kracow. When he was discovered his body temperature had dropped to 12.7 degrees celcius compared to the normal 36 to 38 degrees.

It is thought he might have been sleepwalking when he left the home.

“I have the full courage to call it a miracle”, said Doctor Janusz Skalski.
