The lawyer for a Georgia couple announced a second lawsuit on Tuesday (Sep. 12) connected to the alleged decapitation death of their baby during a difficult delivery, USA Today reports.

In August, Jessica Ross, 20, and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., 21, sued the OBGYN, who they claim used excessive force to deliver their child. In the new lawsuit, the couple sued the pathologist they hired to perform an autopsy for posting images of their deceased child on social media.

The first lawsuit accuses Dr. Tracey St. Julian, and Southern Regional Medical Center of medical malpractice, gross negligence, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Roderick Edmond, the family’s attorney, said the couple asked for a C-section when the baby was stuck but still alive during vaginal delivery. St. Julian refused to perform a C-section; instead, she applied “ridiculously excessive force” on the baby’s head and neck.

Hospital staff allegedly wrapped the deceased infant tightly in a blanket and propped its head on top to appear that it was attached to the body, Edmond said at an August press conference.

CNN reported that the family’s spokesperson said hospital staff told the couple they were not permitted to see or hold their child. “Hospital staff allowed the young couple to only view their dead child,” the state reads.

After the first lawsuit, the family paid pathologist Dr. Jackson Gates $2,500 to perform an independent autopsy for their case against St. Julian and the hospital. They later discovered that Gates posted pictures and video of the autopsy on Instagram.

Gates doesn’t deny posting the images that were later deleted. He defended his actions as intended for “educational purposes,” adding that he never revealed the baby’s identity.

At the Sep. 13 press conference, Edmond called Gates’ actions “diabolical.”

“What educational value is it to anybody to view a picture of a decapitated baby?" the attorney said.

The Clayton County Medical Examiner told CNN in August that his office planned to ask state officials to investigate the incident. He had already contacted the Georgia Composite Medical Board to investigate three doctors involved in the case, and he planned to ask the Georgia Secretary of State Office Board of Nursing to investigate the nursing staff’s role in this incident.

A hospital spokesperson has denied the lawsuit’s allegations and said St. Julian was never an employee. “Our commitment is to provide compassionate, quality care to every single patient, and this loss is heartbreaking,” the statement said, according to USA Today.
