   One prosecution witness was heard Monday, Dr. John Crow, a pediatric surgeon and burn expert at Akron Children's Hospital.
   
   Based on examining the autopsy report and photos of the dead child, Crow said Gage must have screamed for about a half hour when he fell onto the baseboard heater.He said the in- fant suffered severe burns over about 60 percent of his body, and most were third- and fourth-degree burns.
   
   Third-degree burns destroyed the baby's skin and fourth-degree burns went into his fat and muscle tissue, Crow said.He said the baby probably survived for more than two hours on the baseboard heater, but probably could not have cried out after the first 30 minutes.
   
   If the child had been rescued with those severe burns with- in the first half hour of being trapped on the baseboard heater, he would have had a 90 to 95 percent chance of surviving with treatment at a burn center, Crow said.
   
   Brown repeatedly questioned Crow about whether a drape that the baby laid against while on the baseboard heater, or other factors, could have prevented him from crying or muffled his cries.
   ...
   Crow said putting the 6-month-old boy to bed on an adult bed placed him in "a high-risk environment for kids that age."
   ...
   The defense attorney asked Crow, who has treated hundreds of children for burns, if he had ever heard of a baby dying from burns suffered on a baseboard heater.
   
   "No," Crow answered.
