A baby boy died in hospital five months after birth, an inquest has heard. Jackson Walters was identified by his mum Mrs Walters at the King's Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
He was born on June 17 last year, and sadly died five months later on December 1. A inquest opened to determine whether there is an "unnatural element" for Jackson's death.
Opening the inquest on Friday, July 15, Assistant Coroner for Nottinghamshire Fiona Gingell said: "I have reasonable suspicion that there is an unnatural element for his death". The hearing took place at the Council House in Nottingham.
