Malaysian influencer Jasmine Yong says her 2-year-old son, Enzo, died on Mother’s Day after drowning in a hotel pool.
Yong shared the news on Instagram.
According to Yong, Enzo fell asleep on the hotel room bed between his parents after drinking some milk. Then, Yong said, she and her husband fell asleep next to him.
When the couple woke up, they discovered Enzo was not there. They then noticed that the originally locked door to an area with an indoor swimming pool had been opened. They entered the area and found Enzo unresponsive in the pool, according to People.
The couple tried calling for help but could not get phone service in their room. They performed CPR then took the child to the lobby, where an ambulance was called. The toddler was declared dead soon after he arrived at the hospital.

“Please let baby Enzo leave the world peacefully,” she concluded.
