A mum has shared her heartbreak at finding her two-year-old son dead in bed after he contracted a form of pneumonia.
Little Albie Farrell had picked up a viral infection that mum Catherine Brumfitt was sure had passed after he started to get better. But the morning after putting him to bed following a day playing in the park, she was horrified to discover he wouldn't wake up.
The Echo reports that Catherine tried in vain to perform CPR on her little boy – but that he had been dead for some time and could not be resuscitated. Nearly two years on from the death in May 2021, the family – including Albie's brothers Jenson and Caleb – is now raising money for child bereavement charities.
