Health care providers and researchers don't know the exact cause, but there are many theories More and more research evidence suggests that infants who die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are born with brain abnormalities or defects These defects are typically found within a network of nerve cells that rely on a chemical called serotonin that allows one nerve cell to send a signal
