AN autopsy has concluded that six-year-old Jasher Francois died from aspiration pneumonitis – a condition caused by inhaling sterile gastric contents, like stomach acid. However, his parents aren't satisfied with that assessment and have commissioned another autopsy to be done on August 9.

Sitting at their Carlton Place, San Fernando, home, Francois' parents, Aaron and Yhnique, were comforted by relatives as they tried to come to terms with any parent's worst nightmare – the sudden loss of their son, who had no underlying health complications. They had already purchased his school books, bag and uniform for the new academic year in September.

"Many times, you would just scroll through Facebook, and you would see parents, time after time, in the media, saying that 'My son died under suspicious circumstances.' And I never thought that this would happen to me," Yhnique said.
