Bandar sri sendayan: A seven-month-old baby boy died after reportedly losing consciousness while under the care of a babysitter at a house in Bandar Sri Sendayan near here last night.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Seremban district police chief ACP Azahar Abdul Rahim stated that police received information about the incident from the victim's mother, a nursery teacher in her 30s. She reported that the babysitter found the child unconscious and subsequently took him to a nearby clinic at around 10 pm.

The baby was later transferred to Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital, where doctors performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but sadly confirmed the child's death. Investigations revealed that the victim had been under the care of the babysitter, a woman in her 30s, since December of the previous year. At the time of the incident, the child was reportedly put to sleep in a cradle with a silicone pacifier.

The victim's body has been sent to Rembau Hospital for a post-mortem examination. The babysitter has been arrested to assist with investigations under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.

Azahar has urged the public to refrain from speculating on the incident, as it may impede the investigation. He assured that action will be taken against those involved, and a comprehensive investigation is being conducted under existing laws.
