Eight-week-old baby who died in Optus triple-0 outage identified as independent review launched
Optus’s eight-week-old baby, who died tragically during the 13-hour triple-0 darkening on Thursday, was detected, because Telco announced who would manage the independent investigation into technical failure.
The deduction began when the company raised the firewall in South Australia around 12.30 that morning.
While regular calls were not affected, approximately 600 emergency calls could not be connected to the triple-0. The disorder expanded in South Australia, Western Australia, Northern region and the new Southern Wales.
Among the deaths reported during the deduction were the eight -week -old baby Ryan, son of South Australian female Chrisania Seeby.
It is understood that the baby was at his grandmother’s house in Gawler West, 43km north of his grandmother, and tried to look for an ambulance after realizing that his grandson did not breathe on 18 September.
Southern Australian police confirmed that the grandmother initially tried to turn the triple-0 using her mobile phone, but could not be connected. He then used another mobile device at home and successfully achieved emergency services.
“Pre -investigations show that the child’s death is caused by any delay in the SA ambulance service to the scene, although the attempt to call 000 has failed,” he said.

Independent investigation started
Optus announced that Dr. Kerry Schott AO will conduct an external examination of two Perth men aged 74 and 79 and Adelaide, a destructive deduction in connection with the death of a 68 -year -old woman.
Dr Schott’s review will investigate the causes of the deduction and examine the operational management of Triple-0 calls in the Optus network.
He will also look at Optus’ response and policies and legal requirements.
In a statement, John Arthur, Chairman of the Board of Directors, was standing by Stephen Rue, Embatted CEO, who faced tremendous pressure to avoid his role.
“The Optus Board is working with CEO Stephen Rue and his team to make us understand exactly what is going wrong and what to do to prevent any reason and any repetition.”
“For the interests of transparency – and to encourage more community understanding of what is going wrong – we are determined to share the facts of the event.”
However, Optus faced a criticism dam after the incident on Thursday, because in 2023, he did not apply one -third of the suggestions from a similar incident.
Former General Manager Kelly Bayer Rosmarin resigned 12 days after this deduction and an earlier hacking event that exposed millions of customers to potential online fraud.
