A mum lost her child after suddenly giving birth to her in a restaurant toilet.
The 37-year-old, who did not realise she was pregnant, was enjoying an afternoon meal at the Abah Bonda Ikan Bakar in Sekinchan, Malaysia.
During a trip to the bathroom she started going into premature labour.
The unexpected birth was quick and saw the child slip into the toilet bowl.
Emergency service workers from Selangor Fire and Rescue Department rushed to the restaurant where they cracked open the toilet to get to the baby, The Star reported.
Despite their efforts, the child was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.
The mother was sent to the Tanjung Karang Hospital by ambulance for medical treatment.
Selangor Fire Department Director Norazam Khamis said the woman was completely unaware that she was seven months pregnant.
"The fire and rescue services department took 10 minutes to break the toilet bowl and extricate the newborn," he said.
A similar death occurred back in 2017 when Cerys Blackwell was just 23 weeks pregnant.
She gave birth to Bobby James Blackwell in the toilet of the maternity ward at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales.
She only saw her baby for moments before he was taken away and declared dead.
