Tragedy in Gedling as baby found dead in dad's arms

A one-month-old baby was found unresponsive in his dad's arms in Gedling before being pronounced dead an hour later. Jordan Armstrong died on April 29 after being found to be looking "white" by mum Beth Sadler in the crook of dad Jake Armstrong's arm at just before 7am.

The infant was found to have been in a healthy condition before his death by a pathologist, who determined his cause of death as "unascertained". Leading an inquest into the infant's death at Nottingham Council House on Wednesday, May 11, assistant coroner Elizabeth Didcock was unable to determine a cause of death, leaving it as an open conclusion.

She said that it was "very difficult" to give a conclusion. Giving evidence, detective sergeant at Nottinghamshire Police Ruth Walker, who responded to the incident after being called by East Midlands Ambulance Service said Ms Sadler was "distraught" during interviews.
