Dad woke to find baby son had died beside him in bed

A baby died while lying between his parents in bed, an inquest heard.

'Well-loved' Mason Sage, who was 11 weeks old, was discovered “not breathing” by his father Dom Sage at around 6.30am on the morning of September 16, 2021, with dry blood under his eye and nose, as reported by Wales Online.

Mr Sage, 29, told Pontypridd Coroners’ Court how he immediately woke his partner and Mason’s mother Emily Owens when he realised Mason wasn’t breathing. He said: “I then opened his mouth and started breathing through his mouth and nose but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get any air into him.“It was like blowing into a wall. The ambulance control room confirmed what I was doing was correct and they continued telling me what to do over the phone.”
