I am 35 years old. I lost my little Daniel on October 4, 2007 during his daytime nap. He was a healthy happy 4 month old baby. Everyone thought it might had been SIDS since he passed so suddenly and unexpectedly during his nap. They classified Daniel’s case as a natural death. The cause of death is Anoxic/Hypoxic Encephalopathy and Bronchopneumonia due to Infantile Reflux and Aspiration While Sleeping. He aspirated regurgitated gastric contents. In other words, they concluded that Daniel choked on his vomit and noticed that some of it went into his lungs since they found pneumonia (in bacteria form) that caused the inflammation in his lungs. When I found, Daniel, there was no vomit on the bed, just saliva, so he did not barf anything out, I guess it stayed in him and it went into his lungs. The fact that I had seen liquid come out of his mouth during CPR was also an indication that Daniel had choked. The M.E. said that she thinks that the pneumonia was not present for a long time, and must've happened shortly before death, because the bacteria was supposedly localized and not widespread throughout the lungs and this also explains why Daniel was not sick before he passed away. I still want this all to be a nightmare! I have a wonderful 2 1/2 year old little girl.
