 This seems to be a possible mix-up between two words.INANITION:-Exhaustion from want of food.
 This seems very unlikely in a premature baby.
 The other word is INANIMATE:-Without animation ie lifeless. More probable.
 Unless it was the mother who was lacking food but when you consider that even babies born to literally starving mothers in concentration camps, again it seems unlikely.

 It is very sad whatever the cause of death. Viktoria.

Hi,
