OG, My sisters partner did not want a post mortem performed - not because he had anything to hide but he wanted his baby to be left alone. In the end they agreed to it because they threatened to take them to court for an order to allow it to happen and she would be held "in stasis" until then.


Anyway;
To get it classified as SIDS - which is not an actual diagnosis, but a diagnosis of exclusion, absolutely everything has to be within normal ranges and there literally be absolutely no evidence whatsoever of a cause.

So over here SIDS is SIDS, and Suffocation is "Fatal Sleep Accident".

ETA: Sorry if I have upset you, JB, but this is one issue very close to my heart.
