Investigations said that the boy was uncontrollable at that time and he had used his feet to push the table which resulted in the baby chair falling back. The boy fell along with the chair and hit his head on the ground.

“The toddler cried loudly before he fainted.”

The staff of the restaurant were witnesses to how the situation unfolded, reported ASTRO AWANI.

The boy’s father quickly brought him to a private clinic but was advised by the doctor to bring him to a hospital immediately as it seemed very serious.

“They then went to a private hospital in Iskandar Puteri and the toddler was pronounced dead by a medical officer there.”
