Malaysian influencer Jasmine Yong is mourning the tragic loss of her 2-year-old son, Enzo, who drowned in a hotel pool earlier this month. The heartbreaking news was shared by Yong on Instagram, where she also posted images from what appears to be the boy’s memorial service.
According to Yong, the tragedy occurred on Mother’s Day when Enzo wandered out of the family’s hotel room while she and her husband were napping. The family was staying at the hotel as part of their Mother’s Day celebration.
Enzo, who was frequently featured in Yong’s social media content, was on the bed snuggling with his parents before falling asleep after drinking milk. When Yong and her husband woke up, they discovered that Enzo was missing. They found him unresponsive in the hotel pool area, which had been accessed through a previously locked door.
Despite Yong’s immediate CPR efforts and the hotel employees’ assistance in calling an ambulance, Enzo’s heart stopped beating after a valiant fight for survival.
Yong pleaded with the public to refrain from spreading rumors or exaggerating the tragic incident, asking for Enzo to be allowed to leave the world peacefully. She shared videos of the toddler as a tribute to his memory.
The heartbreaking story serves as a reminder of the importance of water safety, especially when young children are involved. Our thoughts are with Jasmine Yong and her family during this difficult time.
