Sarah Parish's 8-Month-Old Daughter Dies

Jan 21, 2009 by NICOLE

English actress Sarah Parish and her husband James have lost their 8-month-old daughter Ella-Jayne. The baby girl died at the couple’s home in Hampshire last week. Sarah, 40, gave birth to Ella-Jayne 5 weeks early by emergency Cesarean section in May. Once born, Ella-Jayne underwent life-saving surgery to correct a heart defect said to be brought on by a rare condition called Rubeinstein-Taybi syndrome. Baby Ella-Jayne was also rushed to intensive care for another surgery in the summer.

"They are both now trying to get through this difficult time as best they can," a spokeswoman for the couple tells the News Of The World.

Sarah has starred in various TV series, including Doctor Who. She also starred alongside Debra Messing in The Wedding Date, and had a small role in The Holiday with Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black.
