PETALING JAYA: A child is believed to have died from heat stroke at Kampung Kota in Kota Baru, Kelantan.

The victim’s father Ahmad Faris Fazli Mohd Nasir said Nur Imani, who is one year seven months old, began coughing a week ago and had vomiting symptoms.

“The post-mortem showed that the cause of death was heat stroke. Her body was dehydrated and her lungs had shrunk,” Ahmad Faris was quoted as saying by Astro Awani on Thursday (April 27).

Ahmad Faris said his daughter was at a critical stage beginning Monday (April 27) night, leading him and his wife to bring the victim to a private clinic before being transferred to a hospital.

“When she was brought to the Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II, she was weak and cold.

“But the doctor at the emergency ward could only prescribe her medicine and told us to bring her home.

“Initially, we wanted to admit her to the ward because she was already weak,” said Ahmad Faris.

Earlier, it was reported that an 11 year-old boy at Kampung Perupok in Bachok had died from heat stroke on Tuesday (April 25).

Quoting his mother, known as Wanie, it was said that the autopsy carried out on the boy had confirmed that it was heat stroke that caused his death.

“The doctor said his kidneys and heart were ‘burnt’. It was empty inside, the water and blood in his body had ‘dried’ up,” she said on Thursday (April 27) at her house in Bachok, Kelantan.
