A 12-week old baby girl was found dead in bed next to her mum in a room containing empty beer bottles and a half-empty bottle of Prosecco.
Police officers found the empty containers under the bed, as well as inside the infant's changing bag. Toxicology reports also found the mum had taken cocaine as well as consumed alcohol before the incident.
The tragedy was investigated as part of a Serious Case Review by Sefton Safeguarding Children Partnership. According to the report, the baby, given the pseudonym 'Delilah', was a twin who died on October 12, 2021.
