(L.A.) Baby Boy Thompson Died in a Hospital
Case Number: 2023-14288
Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a White/Caucasian male that occurred in a hospital.
The coroner’s office has identified the infant boy as Baby Boy Thompson.
Manner of Death: Accident
Cause of Death A: Intrauterine Fetal Demise
Cause of Death B: Effects of Maternal Methamphetamine
RIP BABY BOY THOMPSON (October 19, 2023 – October 19, 2023)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Thursday at 6:57 a.m.
Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on December 6, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the meth.
Intrauterine fetal demise is the medical term for a stillbirth.
This is considered an accidental drug overdose. If there hadn’t been the meth, the stillbirth would be a natural death.
