Father suffers fatal heart attack, baby pinned under his arm dies later
Azura Abdul Malik had found the baby pinned under the arm of her husband, whom she found unconscious at their home.
PETALING JAYA : A woman lost both her husband and three-month-old baby boy in an incident in Melaka today.
She found her husband, in his 30s, unconscious from an apparent heart attack and the baby pinned under his arm.
Azura Abdul Malik, 37, found her husband, Nurul Efendy Ibrahim, unconscious at their home in Kampung Perigi Hang Tuah, Melaka, around 9.30am, Kosmo reported.
She called for an ambulance and the first responders confirmed her husband had died.
The baby was still alive when she found him and was rushed to hospital but died there.
Azura said she was waiting for the autopsy report to determine how her husband and child died.
A fire and rescue department spokesman said they were asked to send a hazmat team to the house to check for a gas leak.
However, the request was cancelled later when preliminary investigations by medical officers found that the man may have died from a heart attack, he said.
