Infant suffocates while sleeping
( 2003-09-16 11:28) (China Daily)
A four-month-old boy died from suffocation while sleeping with his siblings
in the Chaoyang District Sunday morning, Beijing Times reports.
When Xiong and his wife returned home from work early on Sunday morning, they
noticed that their infant son was not breathing. His head was covered by a quilt
while their other two children lay beside him. Their sleeping seven-year-old
daughter had unknowingly draped her leg over her baby brother as well.
Doctors tried but failed to resuscitate the child. They cited the cause of
death as suffocation.
