Tragedy as mum collapses and dies hours after death of her five-month-old son

A mum collapsed and died just hours after the death in hospital of her five month-old son. Tributes are being paid to Viktorija Mardosiene, 32, and her baby son, Kevin Dugutis, as police confirmed a coroner was 'reviewing' the circumstances.

Ms Mardosiene lost her life on a ward at the Royal Stoke University Hospital at 5pm on August 9.

She is reported to have collapsed following the death of Kevin in the early hours of that morning. It's understood he had been taken ill in his cot just two hours after a night-time feed at their Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, home and was rushed to hospital shortly before 1am.
