Abstract:
A two-month-old infant died during bottle feeding in the supine position in the caregiver's absence. Scene investigations and autopsy examinations, including alpha-lactalbumin immunohistochemistry of the lungs, revealed the cause of death to be asphyxia due to aspiration of milk pooled in the naso-oral cavity, as a result of unsupervised supine feeding. This case emphasizes the need for an investigation into feeding positions and immunohistochemical examinations for the diagnosis of asphyxia due to milk aspiration.
