It's really hard to tease out given the sensitivity of the issue but while the vast majority of SIDs deaths are environmental or situational (smoke, unsafe sleep, cushions, accidental parent suffocation, intentional parent suffocation...) afaik there does seem to be some low base rate of SIDs deaths which have no obvious explanation.
