Overview

• Dr. Jackson Gates and his business, Medical Diagnostic Choices, were found liable in a civil lawsuit for posting autopsy images of a decapitated newborn on Instagram.
• The lawsuit was filed by the baby's parents, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., who accused Gates of posting the images without permission.
• Gates failed to respond to the civil complaint, resulting in a default judgment against him and his company.
• The baby's death, caused by a rare birth complication known as shoulder dystocia, was ruled a homicide by the Clayton County Medical Examiner.
• The parents are also suing the hospital and the doctor who delivered the baby, alleging negligence during delivery led to the decapitation.
