Baby chokes to death on milk
KUALA LUMPUR: A seven-month old baby is believed to have died after choking on milk at a babysitter’s home in Taman Melati here. The incident occurred at about 1pm yesterday when the babysitter found Joseph Razzin Mohd Yusri unconscious.
The baby sitter claimed that the child was sleeping shortly after being fed milk. Joseph’s father Mohd Yusri Abdul Rahim, 39, took the baby to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival. The father refused to have a post mortem conducted on his son’s body.
Sentul police chief Asst Comm Zakaria Pagan said initial police investigations revealed that the child had died after choking on the milk and had ruled out foul play. “We will record statements both the parents and the babysitter.”
