The final moments of a 'thriving baby' who died suddenly without explanation have been heard at an inquest. On November 3 an inquest to determine whether there was an "unnatural element" to baby Jackson Walters' death concluded, but left questions for his family.
Jackson was born on June 17 last year and died five months later on December 1, after his mum Katie Walters found him "unresponsive and appearing blue" at 8.30am. She attempted to resuscitate him at the Stanton Hill home they had recently moved into and he was then taken to King's Mill Hospital where he passed away at 9.04am.
One day before on November 30, he had been taken to a clinic at Chesterfield Hospital for a check-up after he was admitted to intensive care in Sheffield and Leicester in the months before his death for bronchiolitis, a common chest infection that affects babies. This left his mother concerned that something had been missed by medical staff, but at the inquest it was found that no neglect of suspicious or criminal activity had contributed to the baby's death.
