Four-year-old dies hours after cough treatment: Mother tells how he 'died in my arms'

Altaio ‘Tuti’ Jordan died shortly after receiving medical treatment for a persistent cough.

A Verulam mother shared her devastating experience of losing her four-year-old son hours after he was treated for a cough.

Nerissa Rosendaw, 35, said her son Altaio ‘Tuti’ Jordan, 4, had recovered from flu-like symptoms he had suffered over the last two weeks.

But when his cough persisted, she took him to their family doctor on Wednesday.
