A newborn baby had died after doctors failed to catch him when he was pushed out by his mother during labour, in a hospital in the Argentinian city of Gualeguaychu.
The Father, Claudio Mondragon, explained that his wife Stefania gave birth to their son Valentino, who, according to him, came out very fast.
He said, “My wife was in labour and was just about to have the baby, and they asked her to push, and she pushed so he would come out.
“He came out fast, and no-one grabbed him, and he fell to the floor.
“The midwife didn’t have time to catch him, and the obstetrician didn’t react.
“The only thing they did was lift him from the floor and put him in an incubator and take him to another hospital.”

The baby boy was transferred to a specialist hospital, San Roque, in the nearby city of Parana, but he was pronounced dead before arrival.
The investigation, led by a local state prosecutor, will determine if his death is the result of medical negligence and whether anyone should face criminal charges.
A preliminary autopsy is said to have concluded the baby boy died from a head injury consistent with a fall.
