 A 'well loved' new born baby died suddenly whilst his parents slept beside him. Mason Sage, who was 11-weeks-old, was found 'not breathing' by his dad, Dom Sage, in September 2021. The infant was lying between his parents in bed with dry blood under his eye and nose. Mr Sage said: 'I then opened his mouth and started breathing through his mouth and nose but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get any air into him. 'It was like blowing into a wall. The ambulance control room confirmed what I was doing was correct and they continued telling me what to do over the phone.' The 29-year-old said he woke up his partner and Mason's mum, Emily Owen, who called paramedics to their house in Bridgend at 6.35am. One medic told Pontypridd Coroners' Court it was difficult to open Mason's airway due to what appeared to be early rigor mortis in the baby's jaw. Mason was taken to the Princess of Wales hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7.10am. Emily Owens called paramedics to try and save her son (Picture: John Myers) The court heard the couple had always been careful when sleeping with Mason, including making sure he was on his back with now pillows near him and blankets away from his face. Ms Owens said: 'Mason mainly slept in the bed. He did go in the cot sometimes, which was right next to me. He woke up once at around 1am and I gave him a bottle. 'I put him in our bed and moved the cushions to the bottom of the bed and put him in the middle of us and he settled. 'In the morning Dom said Mason wasn't breathing. I was in shock and screaming and Dom started to do CPR on him and I was giving instructions from the ambulance service.' The inquest concluded Mason died from 'sudden unexplained death' (Picture: John Myers) Mason had also been 'struggling' with the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, and had spent some of the day before 'screaming in paint' and 'sleeping for long periods of time'.
