A heartbroken father has told how he woke up to find his baby son had died beside him in bed. Mason Sage was 11 weeks old when he was discovered “not breathing” by his father Dom Sage at around 6.30am on the morning of September 16, 2021.
As reported by Wales Online, an inquest at Pontypridd Coroners’ Court heard the baby was found with dry blood under his eye and nose. The 29-year-old dad told the court how he immediately woke his partner and Mason’s mother Emily Owens when he realised their boy 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.”
