Heartbreaking
A family has been left devastated after a premature baby boy died two months after his mum. Dexter Khan-Barnes died in his sleep at just two months old.
An inquest held on Wednesday, June 7, heard that no cause of death could be identified. He died in July last year, the coroner was told. Baby Dexter was born at 32 weeks and spent around six weeks in the neonatal unit before being discharged with dad Shane Khan. The day before his death at his home in Rishton, near Accrington, Dexter was checked over by a nurse who visited the house and found him to be in good health.
Summing up evidence from the investigation, coroner Richard Taylor said Mr Khan had moved to lay next to Dexter at around 4am and awoke again at around 5.30am. At that point, he thought it unusual that Dexter's arm was not moving as he normally would when hungry. He then noticed the baby's arms were floppy and his eyes discoloured.
