Stephen Waterson, pictured, is accused of crushing three-year-old Alfie Lamb to death by reversing his car seat into the youngster in his Audi convertible
A little boy crushed by a car seat suffered internal bleeding likened to a crash injury, a court has heard.
Alfie Lamb, aged three, died after his mother's boyfriend Stephen Waterson allegedly squashed him by his reversed car seat.
The boy had been in the rear footwell of Waterson's Audi convertible, at the feet of his mother Adrian Hoare, the Old Bailey has heard.
She allegedly ignored his cries of 'Mummy' and told him to 'shut up' on the journey back to their home in Croydon from Sutton in south London on February 1 last year.
Alfie was taken out of the car 'unresponsive' and confirmed dead on February 4 after three days in intensive care.
There were four adults and two youngsters in the car but no child seats in use on the day of the tragedy, jurors have heard.
Paediatric pathologist Dr Andreas Marnerides carried out a joint post mortem examination on Alfie's body at St Thomas's Hospital in London on February 9.
He told jurors Alfie had been a 'healthy boy'.
He said: 'In this case we had no positive findings of a natural explanation of a death and we had positive findings it was unnatural, it was trauma related.'
There were a lot of external petechial haemorrhages - tiny red spots caused by ruptured veins - on Alfie's forehead, around the eyes, cheeks, upper chest and behind the ears, the court heard.
There were other similar spots elsewhere, including inside Alfie's chest cavity, Dr Marnerides said.
A jury at the Old Bailey today saw photographs of the interior of the car where it alleged Alfie suffered his crush injuries
The court heard that Alfie was crushed in the footwell behind the passenger seat
The court heard that Alfie's injures were worse than those in a road traffic accident

The pathologist ruled out a possible natural explanation such as sepsis, saying there was 'positive evidence there had been injury that would have resulted in increase in pressure in the body, the abdomen and chest'.

Evidence of internal bleeding was explained by impact to the right side of the body, he said.
He told jurors such impact or compression injuries were like those seen in road traffic collisions.
He ruled out Alfie's injuries being caused by efforts to resuscitate him after his collapse.
Fat globules in the lungs also indicated a traumatic injury, he said.
The cause of death was given as ischemic brain injury caused by deprivation of blood or oxygen and compression asphyxia, jurors were told.
Waterson, 25, and Hoare, 23, from Croydon, south London, have denied manslaughter.
The trial continues.
The court heard that Alfie's injuries could not have been caused by attempts to resuscitate him

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
