Baby dies after swallowing ball, grandfather dies after hearing news

In a tragic incident, a seven-month-old boy in Panipat allegedly choked to death on Wednesday as a small ball got stuck in his throat. The incident took place when the boy was playing with a bouncy ball and it suddenly got stuck in his throat.

Though he was taken to various hospitals in the city, doctors were unable to take the ball out of the throat. The infant died during treatment at a private clinic.
 

The toddler identified as Mohit lived with his mother Kavita at his maternal grandfather’s house. Soon after hearing the news of Mohit’s death, his 50-year-old maternal grandfather Joginder Singh also died of heart attack, reports Hindustan Times.
