A baby died after she rolled out of her parents' bed and was trapped against a wall while her mother slept.

Marley Wallace's death on February 7 last year was a tragic double blow for her family, after her mum Kelly, 28, had suffered a miscarriage just two days earlier.

Dad Kenroy Wallace, also 28, discovered his 10-month-old daughter lifeless at the family's home in Lennox Gardens, Banbury.

Mr Wallace said: "I could only see her chest, her body was upright and her head was leaning to one side.

"I started screaming: 'There's something wrong with the baby'. I leaned over and pulled her out of the gap by her arms."

Mrs Wallace called an ambulance and her husband tried to resuscitate the baby until paramedics arrived, but she was pronounced dead at the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

In a statement read out at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court on Tuesday, Mrs Wallace said she and her husband often slept with Marley in their bed.

The police were called as standard procedure but found no evidence of foul play, Dc Paul Girling told the inquest.

Dr Steve Gould, who carried out a post mortem, said: "Marley was wedged between the wall and the bed, which would have interfered with her breathing and chest expansion."

He added that Marley had bronchial pneumonia, which was a contributory factor.

Deputy coroner Dorothy Flood recorded a verdict of misadventure.

Mrs Flood also warned parents against allowing their children to sleep in bed with them. She added: "Unfortunately children get more agile than parents expect."
