A 16-month-old boy died when he was strangulated by a pacifier's nylon strap when he tried to jump down from a baby cradle in his home at Taman Sera, Padang Sera, Kodiang on Monday.
The toddler, Lai Xiang Zheng, had turned blue and was unconscious when his Thai mother Narumon Pasupah, 33, looked into him at 1.15pm.
Kubang Pasu police chief Supt Abdul Hadi Hassan, when contacted, said the toddler, the youngest of four siblings was found strangulated by the strap with his little body and legs dangling from the cradle.
"The victim's mother had gone out to fetch her eldest child from a nearby school and was shocked to find the baby lifeless when she returned.
"The baby was rushed to Kodiang Health Clinic but was confirmed to have died about 20 minutes earlier," said Abdul Hadi. -- Bernama
