There is probably some nuance that I am just not aware of. As the adoptive parents it is difficult to get the full account, since we weren't present until a few hours later.
From what I was told, he was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his throat, and just kind of "fell out" while his birth mother was walking from the bathroom to the living room. I know that part is true, at least, because we saw the apartment floor the next day...
I think probably the paramedics were able to detect some faint vitals upon arrival. Since the birth mother and her partner weren't super reliable or coherent, we weren't really able to piece it all together until we tracked down the two young men who helped save our son's life that night.
