In the morning of Feb. 23, a baby girl who had fallen into a coma was rushed to the emergency room of the Affiliated Children’s Hospital of Soochow University. She was brought in by her grandmother and responsible parent, a middle-aged woman surnamed Huang.
Doctors were surprised to discover that the cause of the coma was heroin consumption and reported the case to the police, according to the Yangtse Evening Post.
Police at the Hudong Police Station of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, investigated the matter and found that Ms. Huang had fed her granddaughter poppy seed oil in an attempt to relieve her illness.
