According to a lawsuit filed by the parents, the baby became stuck during labor and the doctor began pulling.

      From the article linked in the OP:

      “When they wrapped the baby up tightly, they propped the baby’s head on top of the blanket to make it appear like the head was attached when it wasn’t,” attorney Dr. Roderick Edmond said.

      Definitely doesn’t sound like an “internal decapitation” to me. What a strange thing to lie about.

        I don’t think it was a lie, per se. Probably just a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

          Possible, but given the unwarranted confidence in the earlier comments and the “Couldn’t give a shit” in response to being shown to be inaccurate, I’m not inclined to give the user in question the benefit of the doubt.

            Yeah, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but a peek at the modlog entries for that user leads me to believe that they just made assumptions and didn’t care to check that they were correct before commenting.
