Mother distraught as sleeping five-month-old daughter dies after getting tangled in a blanket
Cleo Ellis-Girling's postmortem concluded that she died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as cot death, and that her mother was not to blame for her death
On April 16, five-month-old Cleo Ellis-Girling died after rolling onto her front in her Moses basket and becoming tangled in a blanket. Paramedics managed to restore her heartbeat after she was taken to the hospital by air ambulance from her home in Troon near Camborne, England but she never regained consciousness.
Her grieving mother was told that she was not to blame for the death of her baby as senior coroner Dr Emma Carlyon concluded she died of natural causes.
