Family heartbroken as five-year-old boy dies after choking on notice board pin

A distraught family have spoken of their heartbreak after the death of a five-year-old boy who choked on a notice board pin.

Kyle Lewis, from Yorkshire, was rushed to hospital after accidentally swallowing the sharp object where he is said to have died four times, although doctors were able to restart his heart each time.

Yorkshire Live reports how Kyle was placed on life support before a devastating scan revealed that he had lost 90 to 95 per cent of his brain function. Kyle eventually died in the arms of his parents Emma and Mark six days after his fifth birthday.
