SINGAPORE — A man force-fed his four-year-old son the tip of a chilli after the child soiled himself, and the boy later fell unconscious and died. An autopsy report revealed that the victim died of an acute airway obstruction by a foreign object, and the tip of the chilli was found blocking his air passage. On May 30, his 38-year-old father pleaded guilty to causing his son's death by performing a rash act and was sentenced to eight months' jail. He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identity of the victim and his young siblings. The father-of-four was at home in his Sengkang flat on Aug 2, 2022, when he noticed that the victim reeked of faeces. The boy was undergoing toilet training at the time and was supposed to notify his parents if he needed to relieve himself. When the child denied soiling himself, the father decided to discipline him by forcing the tip of a chili into the boy's mouth. After that, the victim started running around while gesturing at his throat. He vomited and collapsed soon after.

Speaking to Chinese media when he arrived home on May 28, Li said that he last spoke to his daughter on May 21, when she video-called him to discuss her university applications. Nothing seemed to be amiss then, he recounted, adding that Jiaxuan was in contact with two of her close friends at about 2am on the day she died.
