Monday 8 August 2022 12:13 PM Coroner is unable to find cause of death into baby boy after suffering lung ... trends now
An inquest into the death of a baby boy who died at just 26 days old has been left with 'unanswered questions' after he was found 'cold and unresponsive' in his Moses basket last year.
Joseph Tissington was found 'not breathing' at around 7am at his home in Jacksdale, Nottinghamshire on July 27, 2021 after suffering 'significant lung haemorrhaging' - with no evidence of natural disease, infection, trauma or injury.
At an inquest at Nottingham Council House last week, the hearing was told Mr Philip's ex-partner, Sinead Rogerson, had been staying with the family at the time and sleeping on an airbed.
Ms Rogerson, 32, told the hearing that Fiona and Philip were struggling to sleep because Joseph 'was a hungry baby', and he was subsequently moved into her room for a couple of nights.
Ms Rogerson said she noticed 'Joseph's chin was not moving' and proceeded to give him CPR before calling for the parents.
However, Assistant coroner Dr Elizabeth Didcock told the hearing Ms Rogerson's account was 'different to the account of the police on the morning of his death' and she had 'forgotten to include the part about her trying to resuscitate baby Joseph'.
Dr Didcock also told the hearing that Ms Rogerson's baby, Theo, had also died under similar circumstances with haemorrhaging in the lungs. Nottinghamshire Police investigated the matter at the time.
Parminder Dhillon, Detective Inspector of Nottinghamshire Police, who also attended the inquest, said Fiona and Philip's two-bedroom house was 'cluttered and messy' and he had 'concerns about the room being untidy'.
It comes as baby Joseph's mother and father Fiona and Philip Tissington are expecting the arrival of their daughter, Renezme-Josefina, in seven weeks.

Recalling the days before the tragedy Ms Rogerson, from Lincolnshire, said she had arrived at her ex-partner's house with her three children during the summer break.
Assistant coroner Dr Elizabeth Didcock said Ms Rogerson had been the first one to notice Joseph 'was not breathing' shortly after she woke up at around 7am to go to the toilet.
Joseph's mother Fiona, who said she was 'in shock' at the time, called the ambulance while Philip continued to perform CPR on baby Joseph.
Dr Didcock questioned the events of the night and told the hearing: 'I accept the account taken by the police that he was put down to sleep on his bed in a vest and nappy because it was hot.
'He was fed around 3.30am and
