Emergency services were called to an address in Monmouthshire when a nine-week old baby was found unresponsive, an inquest opening has heard.
Gwent Coroner’s court heard on Monday that Gwent Police were called alongside paramedics to a house on Llwynu Lane in Abergavenny at around 7.40am on August 20. The parents of Devon Robert Mark Lewis had found him unresponsive.
Senior Coroner Caroline Saunders told the court that resuscitation attempts were made but tragically Devon could not be revived. The results of a post-mortem examination are pending further testing, the hearing was told.
Ms Saunders said an inquest has been opened due to the “wholly unexpected” nature of Devon’s death. The proceedings are to include evidence from medical professionals, family members and the emergency services.
The inquest was adjourned until June 15 next year.
