A two-month-old infant was pronounced dead following advanced resuscitation efforts in a home on Sanhedrin Street in Beersheva on Wednesday morning 12 Nissan. It appears the mother fell asleep on the baby during the night.

MDA reports EMS personnel were summoned to the home after the mother found the child unresponsive. When EMS arrived the child was in cardiac arrest and CPR and advanced life support were initiated. Eventually the medical team realized their efforts were to no avail and the decision was made by the physician to terminated resuscitation.

According to the preliminary investigation, the infant was placed asleep aside his mother and during the night the mom rolled over onto her son.
