A mother and newborn baby have died after they were found 'unresponsive' in a Travelodge hotel room. An investigation has been launched.
Paramedics were seen administering CPR having brought the baby and mother down out of the hotel and into several ambulances which were parked outside, reports Leicestershire Live. "They were trying to save their lives as we all stood there powerless to help. It was absolutely gut-wrenching," a bystander, who asked not to be named, said.
The incident happened in the Leicester City Centre Travelodge, at the Haymarket Shopping Centre, shortly before 3pm on Thursday, March 24. Leicestershire Live reports they were taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary but, despite the efforts of paramedics and doctors, they were both pronounced dead soon after their arrival.
