A baby died after becoming stuck between a footstool and the couch it was attached to, an inquest has heard. Cassidy Blossom Oakley, six weeks old, was found unresponsive at around 11pm on September 5 last year when it appeared she had fallen from a footstool she was lying on.
Dad Jacob said he felt he had been woken by a "higher force" after accidentally falling asleep, and then saw his daughter on the floor at their home address in Runcorn, reports The Echo.
An inquest into the baby's death was yesterday told Cassidy had been a twin, but was the only survivor after an earlier miscarriage. The hearing heard how on the day in question Cassidy had fallen asleep at around 9.30pm and was being watched by her dad. Megan said: "I went up to bed shortly after. I said my usual 'goodnight, I love you, sweet dreams princess'.
