Baby suffocated between bed and wall

An tragic and important safety lesson.

Connor W. Youngren of 224 Ave. C in East Peoria was pronounced dead about 5:30 p.m. at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, according to Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll. An autopsy showed the infant died from lack of oxygen after becoming trapped between a bed and the wall at his home.

Youngren was asleep on the full-size bed and somehow rolled off, becoming trapped, Ingersoll said. She added that it did not appear as though the parents, Brandon Youngren and Amanda Whitaker of East Peoria, had done anything criminal.
