1-day-old baby Evelyn Grace March likely suffocated while breastfeeding, potentially due to an early discharge from Leeds General Infirmary.

Evelyn Grace March, a newborn, died one day after her birth at Leeds General Infirmary, likely due to accidental suffocation while her mother slept during breastfeeding. The coroner's report, which labeled the cause of death as "unascertained," suggests that discharging the mother just four hours post-birth may have contributed to the tragedy. Coroner Kevin McLoughlin has urged the hospital to implement measures to prevent similar incidents.
