  "abstract": "In their retrospective review, Jump et al provide a detailed look at the causes and timing of childhood deaths in their emergency department (ED) over a 10-year period.1 Among the 58 children who died, most were infants <1 year old who died between the hours of 08:00 and noon during the winter months with a parent present. While the sample size is small, the results allow us to examine the rare phenomenon of childhood death in the ED and provide an opportunity to explore similarities and differences in childhood deaths in the UK and the USA. Equipped with this information, we can better allocate resources to help families and ED staff when the death of a child occurs and ultimately work to prevent future deaths.",
