What Causes Sudden Death Of Baby Without Any Symptoms?

Hi there. My name is Samantha, I have a dear friend whom loss her baby 2 days before Thanksgiving.
She was 8 months along and all of a sudden she felt like something was coming out. She went to the hospital and they couldn't find a heartbeat. Did 2 ultrasounds and still nothing. A couple weeks before hand, she went to the hospital say "he " wasn't active. The dr.s had to "shake" him awake. They told her he was just a heavy sleeper. I find this odd. Do you have any information that may help answer, as to why she had to indure the loss of her baby?
