Authorities and multiple reports describe the case of Jamie Varley, 37, who is accused in connection with the death of 13-month-old Preston Davey, a baby he was reportedly adopting. According to the accounts cited by the outlets, Varley arrives at a hospital with Preston in his arms and the child is described as limp. One report says Varley blurts out to hospital medics, “I killed him,” while he is seeking help. Another account describes Varley later collapsing and pleading with doctors, saying “it’s my fault,” after being told the child would not survive. The reports also include that he asks medical staff to “kill me.”

The publications present these statements as being made to hospital personnel during the child’s arrival and in the period afterward. The articles do not provide further verified medical or legal findings within the excerpts provided, but they consistently describe the same accused person, the same child, and the same sequence of hospital statements attributed to Varley.
