Mum and baby found dead in flat next to unopened presents just days after Christmas

A mum and her 14-month-old son were found dead in their flat after not arriving at a friend's house on Christmas Day, an inquest heard.

Natalie Kane was said to be excited for her first 'proper' Christmas with her 'happy' baby boy Harry. However, on the evening of Christmas Eve, she seemingly decided to inhale lighter fluid and suffered catastrophic effects, LancsLive reports.

Harry died due to dehydration after effectively being left alone. The alarm was raised when Natalie failed to show up at her friend's house on Christmas Day as planned and stopped contacting her family.
