GEORGE TOWN, Sept 27 ― A 10-year-old boy who was found in a coma together with the body of his mother in a hotel room in Jalan Macalister, here two days ago has been transferred to Hospital Tuanku Mizan in Kuala Lumpur for further treatment.
North-east District Police Chief, ACP Che Zaimani Che Awang said Ong Chee Khai, 10, who was earlier treated at the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of the Penang General Hospital (HPP) was earlier taken there at 3.30pm yesterday by ambulance for treatment to remove carbon monoxide from his body.
“The child is still unconscious and he was transferred to Hospital Tunku Mizan for further treatment and would only be taken back to HPP after his condition is stable,” he said here today.
