An investigation was underway Saturday into the death of a baby who was born in a hospital waiting room in England's East Midlands region.
Steven Yorke and his partner Sara Proud went to Leicester Royal Infirmary on Sunday night when Proud realized she was in labor.
When they arrived, they were told to wait in a side room with other expectant parents.
But 80 minutes later, baby Kyle was born while Yorke was trying to find help.
When two midwives did come to assist, the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck.
Kyle was quickly delivered and rushed off in the hope of being revived, but those attempts were unsuccessful.
Yorke told Sky News, "It's numbing. We're not sleeping well, we're not eating well The slightest thing and we'll cry. Sara's not left the house at all.

+5That pregnant woman went to that hospital because she was having a her baby. The hospital in turn didn't do there job and provide the health care that she needed. This resulted in the baby dyeing which may have been prevented had the hospital did there job and gave the care she needed. Therefore, her babies death is there fault.
My heart goes out to this couple. What a tragedy.
They were simply following the edicts handed to them by the Utopian state of healthcare that the idiots are trying to push on America.
That can't be. England has nationalized health care, and nationalized health care is all wonderful and perfect and all that.
That's what my liberal friends tell me, anyway.
Nah, this must have happened somewhere else. It couldn't have happened in a nationalized health care utopia like the UK.
Rough data never presents an accurate story.
That explains volumes about your views.
In the 50's there were hardly any cases of obesity and we valued a high quality of living. Now we are fat, sick, uneducated and the list goes on. Nothing to brag about in my opinion and if we don't start getting our health in check; we will start falling further behind.
