Lula, 14-month-old baby girl dies at home: initial hypotheses
A 14-month-old girl died in the early afternoon of yesterday, Tuesday 8 September, in her home in Lula, in the province of Nuoro.
According to an initial reconstruction, the little girl had eaten and was resting in her crib when her mother noticed she wasn't breathing. The initial hypothesis is that death was caused by suffocation due to regurgitation , but the medical-legal examinations will clarify the cause.
The woman immediately raised the alarm and the 118 operators arrived on the scene, along with the Areus air rescue.
Despite attempts to resuscitate the little girl, there was nothing that could be done.

The Nuoro Public Prosecutor's Office has ordered the seizure of the body , which has been transferred to Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari for an autopsy. The examination will establish the precise cause of death and verify the regurgitation hypothesis, which emerged from initial findings.
