Baby girl died after being found 'wedged' between sofa and wall at home

A heartbroken mum and dad still don't know how their baby girl became stuck between a footstool attached to a couch and wall in a tragic accident which claimed her life.

The ECHO previously reported how six-week old Cassidy Blossom Oakley was found unresponsive at around 11pm on September 5 last year when it appeared she had fallen from a footstool she was lying on. Dad Jacob said he felt he had been woken by a "higher force" after accidentally falling asleep, and then saw his daughter on the floor at their home address in Runcorn.

An inquest into the baby's death was held in Warrington on Wednesday where her heartbroken parents paid tribute to their daughter. In a statement read out to the court, written by Jacob and Cassidy's mum Megan, they said Cassidy was their "bright, blue eyed baby girl."
