Unexplained baby deaths rise for first time in three years The number of babies dying from unexplained causes in England and Wales has risen for the first time in three years, data shows.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show there were 219 deaths caused by sudden infant death syndrome (Sids) or without a known cause in 2016. This was up from 195 the previous year and the highest number since 2013, when there were 252 deaths.
The numbers have been described as deeply concerning by the Lullaby Trust charity, which raises awareness of Sids. The Guardian
