Heartbreak as baby boy tries to survive for three days after mum died

People are heartbroken after a 14-month-old baby survived for "two or three" days after his mum died at home.

Harry Kane and mum Natalie were found dead several days after their deaths in December last year, in a scene that left paramedics "visibly upset". An inquest on Tuesday, September 6 heard Harry, one, died due to dehydration after being left alone when mum Natalie died as a result of substance abuse.

Natalie, 27, had previously suffered with addiction and had no drugs other than prescribed methadone in her urine when it was checked one week before her death. But the inquest heard Natalie, of Whitehaven, decided to inhale lighter fluid on Christmas Eve suffering catastrophic effects.
