In what will come across as a really heartbreaking development, a little boy has been found drinking milk from his dead mother’s breast.
A photo has shown the really heartbreaking moment a 17-month-old toddler tries to drink milk from his dead mother’s breast in India.
According to Metro UK, police officers arrived at the railway track in Damoh district, Madhya Pradesh, India, yesterday morning, to find a group of people gathering around the body.
It is then they saw the tragic sight of her now orphaned child desperately clasping for his dead mother.
Witness Monu Balmiki, 27, said: ‘We saw a woman lying near the railway track and informed the police.
‘But when we got closer we spotted a child next to her crying and drinking her milk. It brought tears to our eyes.’
Head constable of the Government Railway Police, Officer Nand Ram, said: ‘The toddler was crying for his mother and on receiving no response from her; he held her and started drinking milk from her.
‘We were shocked to see it, it was very sad.
‘The woman was lying dead while the child was sitting next to her scratchless. This was something we have never seen before. It was quite emotional for us all.’
Officer Ram added the death is being investigated and the body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.
He said: ‘We are suspecting an accident as she was bleeding from her nose and ears.
‘We are trying to locate the home address of the woman and trying to dig up some information about her so that her family can be informed.’
The toddler was taken to a hospital for a check-up where the Child Welfare Committee will make arrangements for him to be sent to an orphanage.
A nurse at the hospital said: ‘The child was brought here around 10am this morning.
‘We conducted a physical examination on him and he was suffering from a cold but has been given medication.
‘He has no other complications and we’ll make sure he’s taken care of.’
