An Atlanta hospital named in a lawsuit regarding the decapitation of a baby during childbirth has denied the allegations and said the infant\u2019s death occurred \u201cin utero prior to the delivery and decapitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit filed in Clayton County, 20-year-old Jessica Ross went to Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, Georgia, on July 9 after her water broke, and the baby, named Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., reportedly became stuck due to shoulder dystocia, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Tracy St. Julian allegedly tried for hours to deliver the child vaginally before deciding to perform a Cesarean section, the lawsuit states, adding that the baby\u2019s body was delivered, but the head was delivered vaginally.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit claims that St. Julian did not inform Ross and the baby\u2019s father, Treveon Taylor Sr., about the decapitation, and that the hospital discouraged them from seeking an autopsy. The family was ultimately told about the decapitation by the funeral home, according to the family\u2019s lawyer.<\/p>\n

The hospital issued a statement in response to the lawsuit, claiming that \u201cthis unfortunate infant death occurred in utero prior to the delivery and decapitation.\u201d The hospital also countered the couple\u2019s claim that it attempted to hide information, stating it \u201cvoluntarily reported the death to the Clayton County Medical Examiner\u2019s office and is cooperating with all investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hospital has also claimed the doctor who delivered the baby, Dr. St. Julian, is not and \u201cnever has been\u201d an employee of the hospital.<\/p>\n

However, media outlet 11Alive said<\/a> she \u201cdid have privileges at Southern Regional Medical Center when the incident took place.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS News reported<\/a> that the couple\u2019s lawyers described the incident as gross negligence and accused the hospital and several nurses of covering up what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the womb was opened, the feet came out, the body came out, and there was no head,\u201d Dr. Roderick Edmond, one of the couple\u2019s lawyers, was quoted as saying. \u201cDr. St. Julian came in, and she, in the process of trying to deliver the baby, pulled on the baby\u2019s head and neck so hard, and manipulated them so hard, that the bones of the baby\u2019s skull, face, and neck were broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmond added, \u201cWhen they wrapped this baby up tightly, they propped the baby\u2019s head up on top of the blanket to make it appear that the baby’s head was attached, when it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Clayton County Police Department told local media outlets that they have opened an investigation into the baby\u2019s death. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation performed an autopsy but has not launched an investigation.<\/p>\n

The Clayton County Medical Examiner\u2019s office also released a statement saying it was notified by the funeral home of the infant\u2019s death on July 13, the same day it was reported to the medical examiner\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
