Those details can help establish whether the incident was consistent with an accidental fall.

The desperate call for help
Once the baby was discovered to be unresponsive, emergency services were contacted.

SAMU medical responders arrived at the home and attempted to help the child.

But the baby’s condition was too serious.

The responders ultimately confirmed the death at the scene.

For the family, the arrival of emergency workers would have been a moment of desperate hope followed by devastating realization.

Parents often imagine that when an emergency happens, an ambulance means there is still a chance.

Sometimes there is.

But in this case, medical personnel could not reverse what had happened.

The silence that followed would have been profoundly different from the normal sounds of a home with a newborn.

Instead of crying, feeding, rocking, and trying to settle a baby, the family was suddenly dealing with an irreversible loss.

Police investigation begins
The Civil Police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death.

That investigation is not simply about assigning blame.

Authorities need to reconstruct the final minutes of the child’s life.

Investigators may speak with the father, relatives, neighbors, and anyone else who can provide information about what happened.

They may also examine the physical environment inside the home.

The purpose is to establish a timeline.

What was the father doing before the incident?

Where was the baby?

When did the father fall asleep?

How did the child fall?

When was the baby discovered to be unresponsive?

How quickly was emergency assistance requested?

What did medical responders find when they arrived?
