I'm not familiar with this subject.
KSigRC, I based my opinion on the original story not the update one today. I agree this is a sad situation.

The overwhelming majority of PPD cases involve no harm to the child (or mother, for that matter) - however, a stastically tiny portion are exceptionally violent (and hence make the news).
The father's concern definitely should not be considered portentious of the baby's death - even knowing she had severe PPD, this does not necessarily imply the baby is in immediate danger.
Let's not make this man's grief worse by implying he is somehow at fault for the actions of his (mentally compromised) wife. [not specifically for you, just saying in general dudes]
