Family horror as healthy boy put to bed and dies during night

A ‘really healthy’ little boy was put to bed by his family - and the next morning they found he had died. His mum has spoken of her horror after finding little Raphaël Labrousse-Stanyon who was just 22 months old.

The youngster was ‘obsessed’ with dinosaurs, his family said, and so far they have no answers as to what might have caused his death. Parents Nicola Stanyon, and Xavier Labrousse put him to bed “as normal” on May 31, but tragically, the next morning he had died.

Post-mortem results have come back inconclusive but investigations by the coroner are ongoing. Mum Nicola spoke to the Liverpool Echo describing him as a “gorgeous little boy”. Raphaël, who was born on July 9, 2021, was rushed to Southport Hospital where he was pronounced dead before being transferred to Alder Hey to allow his family the chance to say goodbye.
