KUALA LUMPUR: A six-month-old baby girl died after she choked on her own vomit at her home in Bukit Angkasa.
Brickfields Deputy OCPD Supt Aidah Abdul Hamid said police were alerted after the infant’s elderly babysitter brought her in to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre around 1.30pm on Friday.
“Rania Batrisya suffocated after she regurgitated her food and the babysitter rushed her to the hospital. The infant died around 4.30pm on Saturday,” she said, adding that police had classified the case as sudden death.
Supt Aidah also said that a post-mortem carried out yesterday confirmed that the infant died of asphyxia and ruled out foul play.
When met at the mortuary, the infant’s grandmother, Ramlah Baba, 63, said she last saw Rania alive on Saturday.
“After Rania was born, my daughter Radiana Rais, 37, only trusted me to take care of her,” she said.
Ramlah said she stopped taking care of Rania about a month ago as she had to go back to Malacca to take care of a sick relative.
