Overview

  • On June 19 in Kampung Perigi Hang Tuah, Melaka, 35-year-old Nuruleffendy Ibrahim suffered a heart attack at home and collapsed onto his three-month-old son.
  • The baby, Muhammad Nur Daniel Nuruleffendy, was found unconscious under his father’s arm and died while receiving treatment at the hospital.
  • Emergency responders inspected the family home and confirmed that a sudden cardiac event, not a gas leak, led to the father’s collapse.
  • Ibrahim had complained of chest pain the previous day but declined medical attention, surprising relatives who knew him as otherwise healthy apart from gout and leg pain.
  • The tragedy occurred on the mother’s first day back to work after maternity leave as she planned to take the baby for his three-month immunisations.
