A teenage mother has died after giving birth to a baby boy in an unknown pregnancy. Danielle Jones, 18, who didn’t know she was pregnant, was rushed to hospital at midday on Sunday after giving birth to baby Danny at her home in Bristol.
Doctors were unable to save her life and she died, leaving Danny in hospital with his father Ozzy Godfrey.
Emergency services rushed to the address in Knowle West, and are understood to have performed an emergency operation to try to save her baby, according to the Bristol Post.
Mr Godfrey wrote on Facebook: ‘I’m having a baby boy, what Dani would have wanted. Such a shame she won’t meet him.
‘Everyone meet Danny Godfrey, my baby boy. He looks just like his mother. I’m fighting for you little man, keep strong for me as well, don’t leave on me now.’
Mr Godfrey also posted pictures of his late partner Danielle and wrote: ‘RIP baby I can’t believe that I have lost you.
‘I loved you more than anything in the world. I will look after our little one that was born today.
‘I’m so broke I can’t believe it. I tried my best babe.’
Danielle was declared dead as soon as she arrived at hospital and police have launched a probe. A GoFundMe page has been created to raise money for Danielle’s funeral and baby supplies for Danny.
