The accompanying headlines and article were blaming co-sleeping and warning
everyone off it!
The Deputy coroner of WA was reported as saying it has inspired here to look
into recent SIDS case for evdience of overlaying which has been the cause of
this!
Despite the reporting the baby having fallen off the couch and not found for
sometime till the mother woke and then put in his cot!!
All a little susprect but the headlines and by lines warning of the dangers
of Co-sleeping!!

Gloria, as indicated below, couch sleeping is very dangerous...and the
woman
was asleep on the couch. I heard her say that the baby was between the
back
of the couch and her.. also she must have turned over at some time as she
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.
