Enzo Yong and Jasmine Yong
Thanks to Jasmijn Yong/InstagramMalaysian influencer Jasmine Yong shared that her 2-year-old son, Enzo, tragically died after accidentally drowning.
“Our baby from Enzo has grown into a happy angel 👼🏻 It is no longer painful or difficult,” Yong wrote in Chinese on Saturday, May 18 via Instagram next to a slideshow of Enzo’s memorial service. “Thank you all for your prayers and blessings.”
Yong said she and her family were on vacation over Mother’s Day weekend. She and husband Lim Kong Wang hugged their son after he got tired of drinking milk as he normally does.
The internet personality explained that she and Kong Wang eventually fell asleep together with their toddler. However, when the parents woke up, they noticed that Enzo was missing and that the ‘locked door’ of the pool was opened. They found Enzo inside and he was unresponsive. Yong performed “emergency resuscitation” while Kong Wang went to seek help, as the hotel had a “poor” telephone network, preventing them from calling for help.
Hollywood mourned many celebrities in 2024. Speed Racer star Christian Oliver (born Christian Klepser) died at the age of 51 in a fatal plane crash on January 5. Oliver was heading home from a Caribbean vacation with his two daughters — Madita and Annik, whom he shares with wife Jessica Klepser — on Jan. 4. […]
“We ran to the hotel lobby with the baby and asked the hotel staff to help make a phone call [an] ambulance and assisted in providing first aid until the ambulance arrived,” she wrote. “Half an hour after being sent to the hospital for rescue, the baby finally recovered his heartbeat, but… [was] is still in a coma.”
Yong said Enzo died on Friday, May 17, after his heart “stopped” beating.
