Update on cause of death of 2 year old on Lufthansa

Hi all,

I promised update after inquest.... cause of death was bronchial pneumonia but no other contributory factors. Coroner noted she was both underweight and short stature for her age.

The child was very unlucky, given that she had begun treatment before the journey began but the trauma of fleeing Eritrea must have been a factor.

Family now settling in US and the girl is buried nearby. RIP
