Four-month-old pronounced dead after father rushes him to emergency deptSaturday, 9 Mar 20194:40 PM MYT=
IPOH (Bernama): A four-month-old boy died shortly after being rushed to hospital after being taken from a childcare centre in Bandar Seri Botani here Friday (March 8).
Meor Ikram Addnan, 32, said his son Muhammad Aakif Iskandar was confirmed dead at the emergency department of Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (RPBH) here at about 6.55pm.
According to him, he took his son to the hospital after being informed by the caregiver that the youngest of three siblings was weak and unconscious at about 6pm.
"When I picked up my son at the nursery at around 6.10pm, he was already pale and unconscious, with his limbs limp. I rushed him to the emergency department of RPBH.
According to him, his youngest son was in good health and only had a runny nose due to a cold.
He said he also sent his one-year-old second son to the nursery while his eldest child was a five-year-old girl.
“As I was sending two of my children to the nursery, I always check to see if there are any bruises on them but there are none,” he said, adding that he started to send Muhammad Aakif Iskandar a month ago, after his wife Ismahani Zainal Abidin, 30, a bank employee, went back to work after the maternity leave.
Meor Ikram, who is a storekeeper in a supermarket, expressed his aggravation over being informed late by the caregiver of his son's condition.
Muhammad Aakif Iskandar was buried at the Kampung Changkat Larang Muslim cemetery here Saturday.
Meanwhile, Ipoh police chief ACP Mohd Adli Tamby confirmed receiving a report of the incident from the child's father. - Bernama
