Template:7 June

7th June 2000: At Weatherfield General, Kevin and Alison Webster were grief-stricken over the death of their newborn son Jake from a Group B Strep infection, after living for only a few hours. Kevin went home and sought comfort from ex-wife Sally, while Alison stayed in the hospital and talked with Sarah Platt, who had given birth to Bethany the day before Alison had her baby. When Sarah let Alison take Bethany for a while, Alison decided to leave the hospital with the baby. The discovery of her disappearance initiated a police search and radio broadcasts asking Weatherfield residents for information regarding Alison's whereabouts. Tyrone Dobbs saw Alison in the park and told Kevin, who caught up with her outside a pram shop. Alison had been pushed over the edge mentally by the loss of her baby and had latched onto Bethany to set her mind at ease. As she handed the baby over to Kevin, Alison told him she couldn't go on, and before anyone could stop her she ran in front of a lorry and was killed.
