An 11-week-old baby boy died while sleeping between his parents. They woke up to find he was not breathing.
Dom Sage discovered his son Mason Sage unresponsive and with dry blood under his eye and nose at around 6.30am on September 16, 2021. At an inquest in Pontypridd, Wales, the 29-year-old told the court he woke his partner and Mason's mother Emily Owens as soon as he noticed there was an issue.
“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,” Mr Sage said. “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.”
