Baby dies after father found dead

14 September 2011 Last updated at 23:58 GMT Police have begun a murder inquiry, but are not looking for any other suspects A baby boy has died after being found with the body of his father at a house in Lancashire.

Taxi driver Paul McBride, 39, was discovered dead at his mother's house at Marl Hill Crescent in the Ribbleton area of Preston at about 18:15 BST.

His six-month-old son was taken to hospital in a "very poorly condition", but later died.

Lancashire Police said they had been made aware of concerns for Mr McBride's welfare.

Officers and family members had been searching for Mr McBride, and it is believed a female family member found his body.

'Incredibly tragic'

A police spokeswoman said: "On arrival at the house, a man was found dead and a six-month-old boy was in a very poorly condition.

"He was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital where he sadly died."

Detective Superintendent Neil Esseen, who is leading the investigation, described it as an "incredibly tragic" case.

He said: "It is being treated as a murder inquiry, although we are not looking for anybody else in connection with this incident.

"We are still in the very early stages of this investigation, but we are conducting a number of inquiries in order to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths."

One resident of Marl Hill Crescent said a woman ran from the house "screaming incoherently".

The neighbour added: "She wouldn't go back into the house.

"There were so many ambulance and police around we knew it had to be something terrible.

"Then the baby was taken away in an ambulance."

Another neighbour said: "I knew Paul. He was a happy, jolly type. He was always jokey and loved football.

"He had moved away, so we didn't see much of him any more. His mother is on holiday so I don't even know why he was at the house."

Forensic searches of the property have been made and post-mortem examinations are due to take place on Thursday.

Andi Eigenmann Finally Names Albie Casiño as Father of Her Baby

Andi Eigenmann finally names the father of her unborn child – it’s Albie Casiño!

This is two months after Andi admitted that she’s pregnant and the guessing game started on who is the father of her baby.

On her posterous blog “The Good That Won’t Come Out Chapter: Deux”, the young expectant mom wrote as part of her “#welliwasneverreallytheconventionaltype” post on Sunday, September 4:

I remember, just months ago, I was so into setting up a tea party even by myself, while waiting for the ceremonial “I do’s” of Prince William and Kate. I was dreaming with my eyes open as I envisioned myself having my wedding similar, with only less of a budget difference, as compared to theirs. Now, I have to stay home and deal with feeling like a planet, while I wait for the ultimate due date. I thought, maybe thinking about how my life should be right now, like the freedom and lightness of dreaming of the next wedding of the century, would readily bring me to tears again. Tears of regret in terms of being fully aware of the greatness and success that should have been. But no. No, because God really does love me.

As soon as I have learned to embrace the fact that instead of having a child at the age of 29, it was blessed upon me as early as now, all those points that would usually bring me to endless tears, have remained to be dreams, STILL highly possible from coming true. This just goes to show that, yes, amidst the lack of maternal instincts and no ounce of being nurturing or maternal whatsoever, I am now undoubtedly ready to raise a child on my own. Of course this comes with being lucky enough to have the best set of supportive family members. Sadly, in life, not everything has to go our way. God didn’t create us to be immature spoiled brats who have to get everything as planned. Nothing’s perfect, but I can assure you one thing: God is awesome and He knows whats best for us, without a doubt. Though not everything may go our way, things will always end up to be just what would keep us happy and contented. The key I guess, is to not expect things way too much. This will only lead to our hearts being bruised and then scarred. I’ve had my fair share of heartbreak and pain, and I must admit, they didn’t go so well at all. But it’s not like Im the daughter of Satan walking the streets of Earth to help let evil overpower this world. I go about each and everyday making sure, I do things that I want, and believe is right, specially without hurting anyone. I never intend to come off as a bad person, in any way whatsoever. And so this state I’m in is something I shouldn’t and wouldn’t be ashamed of.

Maybe instead of feeling bad that Albie left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity go out and find genuine happiness once again. I’d obviously love for him to be around eventually. You know, to save myself the struggle to find a good way to explain his absence to his child. At the same time, I’d understand. Cus after all, I have no idea who or what kind of a person all the fame and fortune has turned him into now. All I hope is that he’s well.

So what about walking down the isle in my awesome white gown? With make up i would try to do myself, just like royals, Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth have done? What about my goal of having the next wedding of the century with lovely guests wearing the trendiest hats? What about grabbing even half as much acting awards as my mom and dad? What about that goal to set out and make a difference? What about that entire journey to genuine happiness through success? What about them all? The answer to that isn’t even that there are better things planned out for me. Its– I just need to wait patiently for the perfect time. Everything will soon fall into place.

Notice that on the third paragraph, she gave away the identity of her baby’s father by posting the name “Albie.” However, yesterday, September 5, she edited the blog entry and replaced “Albie” with the words “baby daddy.”

Andi explains on her latest blog entry (“#Warning”) the reason why she particularly deleted Albie’s name on her previous post and that is to avoid “violent reactions” from fans.

So again, “fans”, this blog wasn’t created for you to make a big deal out of. This blog should not at all interest those who know who I am due to the fact that they watch me on tv and nothing more. This blog aims to inspire those who want to be inspired. This blog does not need nor care about the idiosyncratic haters. This blog warmly welcomes people who are educated enough to not idolize someone only for its good good looks.

Libyan rebel to give Gaddafi hat to his father (Reuters)

CAIRO (Reuters) – A Libyan rebel, wearing a flamboyant military peaked hat that he said he had seized from Muammar Gaddafi's bedroom in his Tripoli compound, said he planned to give the trophy to his father.

Speaking to Britain's Sky News, the bearded fighter identified only as al-Windy, was among the fighters who stormed Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Tuesday, seizing weapons and trophies.

"I just went inside his room, Gaddafi's bedroom, and I was really, I was like 'Oh my God'. I am in Gaddafi's room. Oh my God. Then this thing happened. I found this, oh my goodness," the rebel said, taking the red and grey hat embroidered with gold thread off his head.

"I am going to give this to my dad as a present because he has suffered a lot from Gaddafi and from Gaddafi followers," the rebel, who also wore a huge gold chain over his drab olive-green T-shirt and carried what looked like a ceremonial mace.

Gaddafi, reputed for his eccentricities, was once crowned Africa's "king of kings" by those from south of the Sahara.

The fighter said he had fought with rebels in the Western Mountains region before they advanced on Tripoli and overran Gaddafi's main stronghold early this week.

Pro-Gaddafi forces initially tried to defend the vast Bab al-Aziziya compound, the seat of Gaddafi's political power and the principal base of loyalists seeking to rescue his 42-year rule, but their resistance later faded, the reporters said.

"I am really proud for this moment that the Libyans have waited for 42 years," al-Windy said.
