A 4-month-old baby boy died suddenly while in his crib at a babysitter in the Israeli city of Bnei Brak, according to emergency workers in Bnei Brak, Israel.
The baby suddenly lost consciousness while in a caretaker’s house. Emergency workers tried to resuscitate the baby, until the arrival of a Mobile Intensive Care Unit, which took the baby to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigators have determined after the initial investigation that the baby probably died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS.
Yechiel Miller, who is an emergency worker in the Israeli city of Bnei Brak told news reports: “When I got there, I saw a woman performing CPR on the baby. Along with other volunteers we performed the resuscitation procedures for about 5 minutes, until the arrival of an ambulance, which took the baby to the hospital.”
The babysitter said that when she went to the crib she noticed that the infant was not breathing. She went down the street and began shouting for help. A woman who lives across the street, heard the screams, went to the balcony and instructed her to perform CPR, while waiting for emergency workers to arrive.
Meir Gregorian, who is an emergency worker for the Dan ambulance services, said: “When we arrived we found the nanny holding the unconscious baby who was not breathing. We performed resuscitation procedures while rushing to Tel Hashomer hospital in Tel Aviv.
Unfortunately, doctors at the hospital pronounced the baby dead on arrival. According to the nanny she tried to wake the child from his sleep, but he did not respond and immediately called Magen David Adom.”
The baby was the first and only child to a young couple living in the city of Bnei Brak.
