Baby girl dies while father plays on phone while feeding her

According to Asiaone, the incident happened in October last year and the investigation results were released on Tuesday, July 12.

Three-month-old baby Reyhana was looked after by her father Mohamed Shiddiq Sazali, 27, while his mother was away. Shiddiq sat on the bed, playing a game on his phone while holding his baby in his arms and feeding her with a bottle.

Investigations showed that the baby used her tongue to push the nipple out, but the father continued playing the game and forced the bottle into the baby’s mouth. Then, when the baby started crying and flailing, Shiddiq kept his eyes glued to the screen and did not look at the baby. Two minutes later, baby Reyhana suddenly lay still.

At the same time, the baby's grandfather returned from the market and found his granddaughter pale and motionless. He rushed to resuscitate her, but she vomited milk. Reyhaha was taken to the emergency room and died an hour later.

Police found no signs of murder. An autopsy found fractures to her femur and skull, but these were old injuries and did not contribute to her death.

After Reyhana passed away, the young father took to Facebook to express his love for his daughter.

Although the cause of death of this 3-month-old girl is unknown, the final report from the authorities said that choking on milk may have caused her death.
