Inquest death of baby boy

An inquest will be held this week (beginning Monday, August 22nd) into the death of a baby boy shortly after his birth at the Countess of Chester hospital.

Oscar Sommerton died just hours after his mother, Freya, gave birth at the Cheshire hospital in September 2019.

His mother, 34 and a teacher, and Oscar’s 40-year-old father, Phil, a senior project manager, say they are now seeking answers from the inquest as to why their son died.

The family’s solicitor, Greg Almond from law firm Rothera Bray, said: “It’s been almost three years since Oscar’s tragic death and his family hope this inquest will now give them the answers they are seeking as to why this happened.”

The inquest will be held over four days at St James Business Centre in Warrington, with a potential fifth day reserved on Friday, August 26th. It will then be adjourned ahead of a final day of evidence on Thursday, September 1st.
