The deaths of three babies who slept alongside their parents and siblings in Indigenous communities could have been prevented by safer conditions, a coroner has found.

Northern Territory Coroner Elisabeth Armitage examined the deaths of children who were referred to as Baby B, Baby K, and Baby S, delivering her findings in Darwin on Thursday.
