Blood clot costs two lives
By IAN STEWARD - The Press | Wednesday, 24 October 2007
A Canterbury community is in mourning after a "tragic and freak" accident claimed the life of a woman and the baby son she was breastfeeding.
Irene Skurr, 36, died from a blood clot entering her lung while she was feeding her 10-month-old son, Cameron McDrury, on Monday morning.
Police said it appeared Skurr had collapsed onto her son, causing his death by smothering and suffocating him.

Hahahaha! The rest of the article is all too long and sensitive, but this...this is just too good. They note she was a vocal supporter of breastfeeding too, and that she had even appeared in media advocating it.
