Cambodian Baby Chokes To Death After Live Fish Her Aunt Is Holding Wriggles Free And Jumps Into Her Mouth


CAMBODIA:-- A 7-month-old baby girl has died in a bizarre tragedy in Cambodia.


The baby girl was at Cambodia’s Mekong River with her family when Chea Sophia, the little girl’s aunt, caught a fish.


Sophia dangled the fish in front of the little girl, who laughed loudly as the fish wriggled about. Sophia continued to entertain the baby girl with the fish. Suddenly, the frightened fish began wriggling so vigorously that it slipped from Sophia’s hand and flopped into the baby’s mouth, reports the Daily Mail.


The horrified aunt desperately tried to pull the small fish from her niece’s mouth, but it had lodged itself in the baby’s throat. No matter how hard she tried to free the fish from the struggling baby’s throat, it would not budge. Sophia then grabbed the baby and attempted to get her medical care in the Chroy Changva District, which rests close to the Mekong River near the region’s capital of Phnom Penh.


The aunt says that she brought the baby girl to a local clinic, but once inside the clinic, Sophia says that the doctor on duty, for reasons still unknown, refused to treat the child, reports the Boston News Times.

A pity that nobody knew to try to lay the baby in its back and give an upward push just below her sternum. Sort of a Heimlich maneuver for infants.

Ye, they should all be tought this at school. But in this case the fish was stuck in the throught possible the sharp back fins caught in the flesh of the throught.

But the doctors refused to attend her, this should be checked out by the police.
