Baby died waiting for ambulance

Wyllow-Raine Swinburn, a newborn, tragically died three days after her birth due to delays in emergency response, which included a seven-minute wait to connect her mother's 999 call and over 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Amelia Pill, her mother, noticed her daughter was 'stone cold' and desperately attempted CPR for 40 minutes with family assistance while awaiting paramedics. The inquest revealed that Wyllow-Raine was born on September 27, 2022, at John Radcliffe Hospital and was discharged on September 29 before collapsing shortly after midnight on September 30. Coroner Darren Salter has postponed the inquest to gather further evidence, including expert testimony regarding potential underlying health issues. Despite a pathologist ruling the cause of death as likely natural, the family has raised concerns about possible early signs of diabetes. The family hopes the upcoming inquest will provide clarity and lead to recommendations to prevent similar tragedies.
