Gabriel’s mother, Cynthia said she left the house for work in the morning and came back in the afternoon to check on her baby, who at the time had been fed by the maid and looked okay.

“When I came back to the house, the house was silent, there were no lights. I tried calling the house help but she didn’t respond. So I decided to go look for my baby and I found (him) in the bedroom. He was no more. I still can’t believe,” said the distraught mother.

Initial reports from the doctor indicated that Gabriel had passed away around 4 hours before his body was found.
