The end of the first paragraph says "On 16 March, 2007, she was found dead in her home on 16 March 2007" 67.127.59.201 (talk) 21:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
"...the chance of two children from an affluent family suffering Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (also known as cot death in Europe or crib death in North America) was 1 in 73 million, when in fact it was closer to 1 in 200." I believe that there might be some problem regarding this statement. Is the rate of an pair of children from an arbitrary family suffering cot death is really this high? If the statement is in fact talking about conditional probability, then it is highly misleading. Could someone please clarify this? Thanks a lot! --Mittermeier (talk) 01:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- I was going to raise the same objection. Later, the article seems to accept the premise of 1:8500 odds for crib death, and claims 1:100 chance of a repetition - i.e. a 1:850000 probability. It would also be interesting to know whether there was additional evidence in the case. kzm (talk) 13:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
