Krystyn Johnson knew it would be the last time that she would ever see her baby boy, Mayson Michael Johnson, when she handed back his lifeless body. The 21-year-old mother was captured in heartbreaking photographs cuddling her "little man", kissing him, and holding his body tight as she wept. The eight-month-old boy reportedly brought her so much joy that she had found it incredibly hard to say goodbye to him. Krystyn says she has now become a part of the "bereaved parent club", a club that absolutely "no parent would ever want to be a part of".

Only hours prior to when the photos were taken, the young mother got a call that completely tore apart her world. The doctors in the hospital said they had tried to save him but he ultimately died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrom (SIDS).

In the images that were captured, Mayson looked like any other baby in a deep sleep but his complexion was ashen. One of the pictures shows the heartbroken mother with the body of her son wrapped in blankets. She told Mirror Online: "My mother says she will never forget the sounds and pain that left my body when they took him. I will never forget that feeling." The child had never had any illnesses when he had been alive.
