MILWAUKEE - A one month-old girl died after co-sleeping with three other children early the morning of New Year's Eve, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Tuesday.

According to the medical examiner's report, Brandi N. Gilmore was "sleeping with three other children on two crib mattresses on the living room floor."

Gilmore's 22 year-old aunt was watching her and the other children until 4:30 Saturday morning, when she passed them off to Gilmore's 10 year-old aunt.

"At approximately 9:47 a.m...the 22-year-old aunt came out to the living room to check on the children and noticed that [Gilmore] was lying supine next to the 10-year-old aunt and was unresponsive." 

She called 911, but Gilmore was pronounced dead a half hour later.

An investigation into her death is ongoing.

  1. These babies don't stand a chance as they are born to people with such low IQ's and poor character that they have no one to protect them. No public service campaigns can end selfishness, ignorance and stupidity.
  2. The solution is simple: if you can't afford a CRIB for your baby, you shouldn't be having any! >:(
  3. This is getting to be one death a week. What does our wonderful mayor and wannabe governor have to say about this, this time?
