'Unanswered questions' over death of 26-day-old baby boy who parents say was 'content and amazing'

The parents of a baby who was just 26 days old when he was found dead in his Moses basket say he was a 'content and amazing' little boy. They paid tribute to their son following the conclusion of an inquest which was held to examine the circumstances surrounding the death.

During the hearing, the coroner said there were some "unanswered questions" over the baby boy's death. The inquest touched on the death of Joseph Tissington who was found "cold and unresponsive" at home on July 27 last year. Mum Fiona Tissington, who is again pregnant with a baby girl, and dad Philip Tissington had welcomed Joseph into the world three weeks before.

During the inquest at Nottingham Council House on Thursday (August 4), the circumstances surrounding his death were detailed. The hearing was told Mr Tissington's ex-partner Sinead Rogerson had been staying for a short while with the family at the time.
