Kyle Lewis was spending time at his uncle's house, enjoying a visit with family when an unexpected and tragic event occurred. At just five years old, Kyle lost his life after accidentally swallowing a drawing pin. The inquest into his death revealed that the pin, measuring one inch in length, had cut off oxygen to his brain, ultimately leading to his passing.
The heartbreaking incident took place in October of 2022, while Kyle was visiting his uncle in the quaint village of Thrybergh in South Yorkshire. His parents, Mark and Ema Lewis, described him as a lively and playful child, full of mischief and love. Losing Kyle has left them devastated beyond words, and they will forever hold him close in their hearts.
The couple was present at Doncaster Coroner's Court as the inquiry into their son's death began, according to reports by the BBC. The court heard how Kyle's father, Mark, had rushed him to Leeds General Infirmary, where a surgical team attempted to remove the pin with forceps. However, due to the pin being lodged in his airway with the sharp end pointing upwards, they were unable to retrieve it.
Despite Kyle's initial response to talk and fight with the oxygen mask, his condition took a turn for the worse. On October 28th, his parents made the devastating decision to disconnect their son's life support, after doctors had tried four times to restart his heart. During the post-mortem, pathologist Professor Marta Cohen confirmed that the drawing pin was still present in Kyle's body.
The four-day inquest continued, with the court hearing more details about the tragic accident that claimed Kyle's life. As the family and community mourn the loss of this young boy, they will always remember his playful spirit and the joy he brought to their lives. Rest in peace, Kyle. You will forever be loved and missed by all who knew you.
