Her injuries and bruising were consistent with "shaking type injuries", the inquest heard. The inquest heard Lily-Mai was born prematurely at 31 weeks and spent the first two months of her life in hospital. Dr Cary said: "The formal cause of death I give is head injury which encompasses both shaking and impact as a cause of that head injury. The inquest heard there were some concerns about Lily-Mai's parents and ability to look after her. In summary she had a head injury, an eye injury, spinal injury, leg injury, rib fractures and many many bruises such as one would definitely not expect in a newborn baby.
