Inquest hears 'beautiful, happy child' developed fatal seizures and died

A three year old who caught chicken pox developed fatal seizures and died, an inquest heard.

The mother of little Cristina Motreanu initially thought she was choking on a piece of raw turnip and tried desperately to clear her airway before calling an ambulance. However test results revealed the little girl developed a rare form of epileptic seizures and this prompted the choking episode.
