A “bright and bubbly” nine-year-old boy has died after being bitten by a mosquito while on a family holiday.
Glenn Pulgadas, from the small town of Harvey in Western Australia, was in the Philippines when he picked up dengue fever and tragically died on August 25.
The St Anne’s School pupil was with his parents Glenn and Ryza visiting extended family when he was bitten by the mosquito and began feeling ill on August 12 leading him to be taken to hospital.
