This paper shows that three decaying atoms prepared in a particular entangled state may instead display a ``birth'', ``death'' and ``revival'' of the spontaneously emitted photon. A ``birth'' manifests itself in an initially zero photon detection probability, for a ``death'' the photon detection probability vanishes after starting from a maximum value, to reappear again (``revival'').
