Jessica Ross and Treveon Taylor, Sr., suffered the loss of their newborn during childbirth, after the baby’s neck detached from the body. Then, Dr. Jackson Gates, in charge of performing an autopsy, shared pictures of the newborn’s remains on social media. The grieving parents have now been awarded a $2.25 million verdict.
As reported by the New York Post, the incident took place back in July 2023. During childbirth, the newborn became stuck in Ross’s pelvic area. An obstetrician, Dr. Tracey St. Julian, then allegedly applied excessive force to deliver the baby. This ended up severing the child’s head.
As reported by the outlet, the baby’s head was delivered vaginally. The rest of the child’s body had to be delivered through a C-section. An autopsy was performed by Dr. Gates after the couple contracted him, paying $2,500.
