Because so many underlying causes contribute to it, respiratory failure is a com-. mon and major cause of illness and death. It is the main cause of death from. pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which together. comprise the third-leading cause of death in the United States today. It is also.
When the cause of death remains unexplained after. investigation, the death is registered as SIDS. A baby's death is not considered SIDS. when a specific cause is found. It is thought that many SIDS deaths are caused by a breathing failure, but how or. why this failure occurs is not known. Possible causes include suffocation, overheating and choking, but none of these has been proven. Further research is. taking place into the causes of SIDS. Babies who die from SIDS die painlessly in their sleep, and there are no signs of. struggling - the baby is often found in the same position as when he or she was put. down to sleep.
