"Medical Examiner Rules Infant's Decapitation During Birth a Homicide"

The medical examiner ruled the death of a Georgia couple's baby, who was decapitated during delivery, as a homicide caused by "actions of another person." The couple's attorney accused the obstetrician and hospital of not being forthcoming about the cause of death, alleging that the doctor used excessive force during delivery. The lawsuit is still in the early stages of discovery, and the hospital denies the allegations. The case is under investigation by the Clayton County Police Department and may be referred to the District Attorney's Office. The couple has sought counseling and is seeking justice for their son.
