A two-month-old baby boy has d!ed while on holiday with his parents in Crete
Greek police are now investigating claims he was ”accidentally smothered by his parents” as he slept between them.
The child, from Finland, was discovered lifeless in a hotel room in the seaside village of Kalyves, near Chania, earlier this week.
Authorities were alerted just after 11am when a call was made to the Chania Public Health Authority reporting the de.ath of a tourist baby in a rented room. Emergency services, including officers from the Chania Police Department, paramedics and a forensic doctor rushed to the scene.
However, it was too late and baby was sadly discovered de.ad on the bed. The quiet fishing village, nestled on Crete’s northern coast, is home to just 1,500 residents and popular with holidaymakers thanks to its narrow streets, sandy beaches and nearby rivers.
Preliminary findings by a local coroner has suggested that the cause of de.ath could be asphyxiation.
One possibility being examined is that the parents “smothered” their child as they were sleeping, according to the Greek edition of CNN.
