A two-day-old boy killed after getting circumcised without anesthetic
In the lawsuit, it says the baby showed “profound lethargy” and could not feed properly. The parents contacted the doctor because they were worried.
But they were told the symptoms were normal and were sent home.
Tragically, the next day, the baby stopped breathing. He was rushed to the hospital — but it was too late. Doctors could not save him.
A later report said the cause of death was bronchopneumonia linked to drug intoxication. Investigators believe this may have been prevented. One detective described the situation as “negligent and preventable.”
The doctor has now been charged with involuntary manslaughter. He has denied the accusations and pleaded not guilty.
At the same time, the baby’s parents have filed a lawsuit. They accuse the doctor of medical malpractice and wrongful death. The doctor’s medical license has also been suspended while the case continues.
Rest in peace, sweet little angel.
