Two children die suddenly as cold weather continues

With cooler temperatures persisting, both the elderly and the young both are most susceptible to illnesses.

Yesterday, a six-month-old baby girl suddenly died in Tseung Kwan O and another two and a half year old toddler was found dead in bed in Tuen Mun.

According to the baby’s parents, the six-month-old girl had been ill and two days ago, after having her bottle and medicine, she suddenly died in her sleep after the helper put her to bed. Choking and crushing has been ruled out, and an autopsy will be carried out to determine the reason for death. 

The two and a half year old little boy fell unconscious in bed and was found by the grandmother. He’s suspected to have died of a heart-related genetic defect. Dress your little ones warmly this winter and keep a close eye on them!
