This is a very tragic situation.It is never wise to place a baby in a bed between two sleeping adults.I am so sorry for their loss.However,going forward,I do hope a lesson could be learnt from this tragedy.
Sad situation and condolences to the family. Sometimes you have families who can’t afford bassinet and cribs for there babies which left them no other choice but to sleep with they on the bed. Sending prayers to the families.
