A three-year-old’s sudden death at a day-care centre is the second fatal incident at a child care institution in three weeks

For the second time in just three weeks a toddler has died at a day-care centre – this time in the southern Copenhagen suburb of Vallensbæk.

A three-year-old boy was found lifeless in the day-care centre’s changing room, where he was reportedly playing with other children. According to people at the centre, the boy suddenly turned blue in the face and fell unconscious.

A parent who is a nurse, and happened to be at the centre, attempted to revive the boy, but was unsuccessful.

As of early today, police had still received no clear indication of the cause of death.

In mid January, a one-year-old boy choked on his lunch at a day-care centre in the western suburb of Ballerup and could not be saved.
