Lawsuit Filed by Georgia Mother Alleging Baby's Decapitation During Delivery

A mother in Georgia has filed a lawsuit against a hospital and others involved in the delivery, alleging that her baby was decapitated during childbirth. The lawsuit claims that the hospital attempted to conceal the manner of death from the family. The baby, delivered at full term, experienced shoulder dystocia during delivery, and the physician allegedly applied excessive traction on the baby's head and neck, resulting in decapitation. The hospital denies the allegations. The family is seeking monetary damages and a jury trial. The county medical examiner's office is still conducting the baby's autopsy.
