A beloved Portsmouth boy, Warren Dowling, tragically passed away at the tender age of 10 after suffering a severe asthma attack while playing with his brother on a trampoline. Despite his usual good health, Warren’s condition rapidly deteriorated, leaving his family devastated and calling for increased awareness about the severity of asthma.
A young boy from Portsmouth, England, tragically lost his life to an asthma attack after feeling fine earlier in the day. His mother, Belinda Dowling, is now speaking out to raise awareness about the severity of asthma and the need for better care for those with the condition. Belinda shared that her son, Warren Dowling, had managed his asthma well most of the time, but he would occasionally experience severe attacks that required hospitalization. On the fateful evening, after a seemingly normal school day and playtime with his younger brother, Warren asked for his inhaler and quickly turned blue and stopped breathing. Despite CPR and efforts from paramedics, he could not be saved. The family is now urging everyone to be aware of the seriousness of asthma and to seek proper care to prevent similar tragedies.
A couple in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter for allegedly neglecting their 9-year-old daughter, Amy Lynn Modrow, who died following an asthma attack. According to court documents, the parents failed to call for medical help for over three hours after Amy began experiencing breathing difficulties. When Amy’s friend’s mother offered to take her to the doctor, the parents declined. By the time emergency services were called, Amy had turned blue and had stopped breathing. Doctors said Amy would have had a better chance of survival with earlier medical intervention.
