9-year-old girl dies while mum falls into a coma on same day

A 9-year-old girl in Kelantan, Malaysia died of a suspected epileptic seizure on Sunday (1 Dec).

On the same day, her mother was also discovered to have fallen into a coma, believed to have suffered a stroke.

According to the girl’s 14-year-old brother, Muhammad Denish Alfi Abd Talib, his sister Nur Izara had complained of severe neck pain around midnight on Saturday.

According to Malay Mail, Mr Denish saw his sister go to the bathroom at around 1.30am, so he asked if she wanted to sleep together in the living room.

As she “seemed to be in pain” and “possibly having a seizure”, he massaged her in an attempt to calm her down.

The girl reportedly went back to sleep after their 40-year-old mother, Ms Yusnita, who was having a fever at the time, read verses from the Quran to comfort her.

Girl found lying in front of mum’s room

To Mr Denish’s surprise, he woke up in the morning to find his sister lying face down in front of their mother’s room.

NST reported that the girl stayed in the same position until noon.

When Mr Denish tried to help her up, he discovered that his sister’s body was stiff, so he tried to wake up their mother.

“I was shocked again when I found my mother unable to move, with her left arm limp as if she had suffered a stroke,” he reportedly said.

He then contacted his father, who was not at home at the time, and asked neighbours to contact rescue authorities to send his mother and sister to the hospital.

Police say case involved unnatural death

“As local floods blocked traffic, rescuers had to use a truck to transport the body and the unconscious mother to Pasir Mas Hospital,” District Police Assistant Commissioner Jamal Azra said.

He also revealed that the incident was a case of unnatural death and that police investigation found bruises on the girl’s lower right cheek and ear.

While the specific cause of death needs to be determined by further autopsy, the hospital confirmed that the girl had died at 8.30pm that evening.
