Could very well still be SIDS, actually.

The article doesn't say the kid was physically suffocated by mum or dad rolling over onto him.

Many SIDS cases involve co-sleeping.

An odd thought.

Could some suffocation cases be classified as SIDS deaths to.. reduce the guilt felt by the parents? It's easier (not that it's ever easy) to accept that your child was spirited away by sheer rotten luck than the possibility of you causing it.

That would mean falsification of a death certificate or coroner's report, though.

Not something I like to think gets done.

Phew. Whether or not it's SIDS, though, I think the parents would blame themselves a great deal. It's a horrible situation for everyone involved.

Small children shouldn't share bed with much older sibling as well. One case of older Brother accidentally killed the younger Brother while sleeping....
