A Malaysian mother has received an outpouring of sympathy from netizens after video showed her cradling her lifeless baby as they were en route to seek medical treatment.
The woman was reportedly bringing her ailing child, born a few months ago, from the small town of Julau in Sarawak, eastern Malaysia, to a hospital located six hours away in Kuching, when the infant was discovered to have stopped breathing at a rest stop along the way.
The baby’s cause of death is unclear.
Video of the tragic incident, which took place on Monday, was shared by a fellow passenger on Facebook.
In the widely-circulated clip, the unidentified mother was seen caressing and kissing her baby’s head. A few people could be seen surrounding her as if to offer comfort for her tragic loss.
