February 12, 2016 was when the 9-year-old boy lost his feet and a part of his hand. Toseef Mughal came back from school and was feeling sick. So his parents took him to the doctor. However, the doctor said that he was fine and sent him back home.

Mughal’s mother was not satisfied. She saw her son was not getting better and took him to the doctor again. The doctor said the same thing as before and sent him back home.

He went to the family doctor with his parents, and that is when his body started deteriorating. Toseef was about to pass out when his family doctor suggested that they immediately need to take him to the hospital.

They airlifted him on a helicopter to be taken to the best hospital in Philadelphia for treatment. By the time he was in the helicopter, his heart rate had already stopped, and he had to be resuscitated.

He was in a coma for two weeks when blood stopped flowing to his hands and legs. That is why they had to be amputated. The boy fought death against all odds and came back to become a bodybuilding champion.
