A infant just 20 months old he breathed his last breath in Aegina, plunging the local community into mourning after a shocking accident.
The unfortunate incident took place Tuesday afternoon inside the family’s home when the little girl, while eating a piece of brioche, suddenly experienced painful breathing.
The food appears to have caused complete obstruction of the respiratory tract, resulting in the child suffering asphyxiation in a short time.
The parents, in shock, immediately rushed to the Island Health Centre desperately seeking help for their child.
Due to the extremely critical situation, it was deemed necessary to immediately evacuate him to Athens, which was carried out with the assistance of a Limenikos Σώmos vessel to Piraeus.
From there, the infant was transferred by ambulance to the Paidon’s Children’s Hospital, where the medical staff made superhuman efforts to resuscitate her.
Despite the great mobilization and the specialized actions of the doctors, the little girl could not be kept alive. Eventually, the body was taken to Tzaneio Hospital, where her death was confirmed.
