Dundee mum launches awareness campaign after daughter suffocated under a stuffed toy

A MOTHER suffered every parent’s worst nightmare when she discovered her daughter had suffocated overnight.

Heartbroken Dexy Leigh Walsh has now launched an awareness campaign about the potential dangers of stuffed toys in the wake of her tragic loss.

The Dundee mum had stuffed the side of the Connie Rose’s bed with teddy bears to stop her falling down between the mattress and the wall and hitting her head.

It is thought a large teddy fell on Connie Rose as she slept.

Although Dexy tried CPR, her daughter, born in September 2016, was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was buried on March 21, with mourners releasing hundreds of pink balloons in her memory.

Now, Dexy has set up a Facebook page warning other parents about the dangers of leaving toys on children’s beds.
