Boy, 3, Dies Suddenly While Watching Cartoons 'With No Symptoms'
Mirror ^ | 15 Mar 2023

The family of Theo Emm, aged three, have said they had only just welcomed baby brother Oliver into the world days before the tragedy

A family of a three-year-old boy have told how he wanted to watch cartoons before suddenly collapsing and dying of Strep A without having shown symptoms.

Theo Emm died at his home after falling seriously ill with the "silent killer", on February 18, having shown hardly any signs of illness.

He had been a "bit lethargic" the night before but was feeling better by the time he went to bed.

The family from Westbury, Wiltshire, had only just welcomed Theo's baby brother Oliver into the world days beforehand when the tragedy struck.

Parents Billy and Jody Emm are still too distraught to speak, but want to raise awareness of the illness, said Billy's brother, Chris Emm.

"I've spoken to my brother and Jody and they said they didn't feel they were able to talk about this as it's still too raw for them," he said.

"Usually they would be okay about talking, but they just didn't feel they could. They did say to me that they wanted more than anything to raise awareness and not for people to think it is a sob story to take pity on them.

"This kind of condition in children is often called a 'silent killer' and it is very rare for children to die from it. In Theo's case, there were no symptoms. He just collapsed on the Saturday morning and died."

Chris, who works as a nurse in the accident and emergency department at Salisbury District Hospital added: "When he woke up on Saturday morning he wanted to watch the cartoons on TV so he was carried downstairs.

very sad, I wonder if he was fully faxed.

“Billy and Jody decided to phone 111”

I thought the emergency number in the UK was

“0118 999 881 999 119 725 3”

Agree they called emergency before he collapsed. If so, His symptoms did not seem very ‘silent’

“Billy and Jody decided to phone 111 and while they were on the phone Theo just collapsed with a cardiac arrest.”

Mobile networks will treat a 111 call as the highest priority, disconnecting another call if necessary to allow it to go through.I’m

“What am I missing ? He was 3. He would have ran downstairs”.

Not if he was feeling ill. Now you’re not missing it.

You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!




Grim Reaper Approved!

Hmmm. I don’t really understand. You don’t want anyone who died, of any reason, to be talked about publicly.

Nope. Just a lot of fools commenting without even the basic information in the story.

You tell everyone this: Are any FReepers asking if he may have had the vaccine?

Okay, so do you believe no one could die from the vaccine? Or that pharmaceutical companies or gov't agencies are accurate and honest?

Some people say that every death is caused by the vaccine. That isn't true. But I also don't see why people have to say there are no negative consequences and people should just shut up and not ask any questions.
