Lily-Mai Hurrell Saint George: Ten-week-old baby unlawfully killed
Published
A baby girl who died from a serious head injury after being found unresponsive at her home was unlawfully killed, a coroner has ruled.
Ten-week-old Lily-Mai Hurrell Saint George died at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in February 2018.
She had 19 rib fractures and a serious head injury, the inquest at St Pancras Coroner's Court heard.
The coroner said Haringey children's services' decision to discharge the baby was "utterly bewildering".
The court heard Lily-Mai was born premature and had spent the first two months of her life in Barnet Hospital.
At the time she was discharged into her parents' care on 25 January 2018, healthcare professionals had raised concerns about Lily-Mai being sent home to her parents, Lauren Saint George and Darren Hurrell.
