A baby was found malnourished with an empty bottle lying by the side of his dead mum. Eighteen-month old Adriel Ejikemeuwa was in his cot alone for almost five days following Mercy Bagum's sudden death. Mother and son were only found when worried dad Eric Nnanna phoned the police for help after hearing Adriel crying through the front door, Glasgow Live reported.
He had become concerned when he couldn't get through to Mercy, 34. When police entered the flat they found the toddler in his cot clutching an empty milk bottle. Adriel's mum was lying dead in the hallway. A post-mortem revealed she had died of alcohol poisoning but had no history of alcohol abuse. The Home Office and contractors Mears Group, which provide asylum housing, has been criticised for their role in the inquiry.
