Mom and newly adopted son die after tragic medical accident; toddler rescued

Her sudden death during feeding time created a tragic chain reaction, where the infant boy then died from choking on his food, with his mother unable to save him.

The identities of the victims had not been officially released, but the woman was identified by a friend as Erika Tomassian. A 2-year-old was found alive, but very dehydrated.

Los Angeles police were called to the Hollywood apartment around 3 p.m. on Monday, October 5 after a anxious neighbor called 911.

The 1-year-old appeared to have “aspirated” on a few food and died, according to Jenal.

The body of the youngster’s one-year-old brother was found strapped into a chair nearby, KTLA reported.

Authorities said she was raising the boys alone.

Firefighters had to break in to the apartment.

A tragedy in Hollywood has left a woman and her 1-year-old son dead and a 2-year-old hospitalized in critical condition.

KTLA reports that the mom and one-year-old were likely dead for days.

Miss Tomassian was originally from Sydney, Australia, and moved to America where she worked as a marketing director at 7 Stars Production.

Tomassian had recently been treated for bronchitis and chest pains, and may have died from complications from the illness, according to police. A neighbor said she used to babysit Tomassian’s two adopted sons, Michael and Nathan. “They were kids, they were babies”.
