Not only that, she was quite overweight if I remember correctly -
another co-sleeping nono. Did they separate out SIDS from suffocation
in the story, though? They are two different things...

Gloria, as indicated below, couch sleeping is very dangerous...and the woman

had her back to the baby. She put the baby back in the cot and 'found it' as
she was too frightened to say she had fallen asleep and suffocated it. It
has been blamed on extreme fatigue of new mothers and co-sleeping. Big
hoo-ha. MM
Whenever one hears of a co sleeping death, the question needs to be asked
"Was the adult medicated or drunk?" GL
SIDS figures show that falling asleep (or sleeping intentionally as well
probably) on a couch with a baby is far more dangerous than co-sleeping in
bed.
