The True Believers will just say something like "God does all things for a reason, you're not meant to understand why, because it's a test".
Not true at all......
Life must go on...either you believe or you don`t it truly is that simple!

I can't even begin to imagine what this man is feeling. This video let us into his world just a tiny bit and I'm a mess :'(

After a few seconds, i try hard to stay a tough guy. But i failed. That is so sad.
That poor guy must feel so incredible powerless. He must have been hoping for a miracle that his son will at least stay alive because of the music. Sparking a will to live. Poor man... :\:'(

Not that I'm aware of. It just strikes me as odd that both the Mother and Baby died without some kind of risk of it known beforehand. I am no Doctor though and perhaps there wasn't much access to pre-natal care or something.

The baby died because it was born prematurely. Earliest viability is about 24 weeks.
The question of why the mother had the c-section is entirely different and while it caused the baby's problems, there doesn't necessarily have to be a link between the need for the c-section and the baby.
E.g. she could have been hit by a car or could have had an allergic reaction to something random, or it could have just been a "normal" pregnancy complication.

There are a number of stories circulating about the cause of Ashley's death and I wanted to share that the results of the examination are not complete yet. What we know is Ashley passed peacefully. As information becomes available, I will do my best to share. - See more at: http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/ashley-picco-memorial-fund/260229#sthash.1sNv8dWj.dpuf

How did the mom die? That's pretty rare nowadays.

Possible aneurism?, FWIU anyone can have one and they are not detected by routine scans, if one breaks open the internal hemorrhaging often results in a quick death.
