A heart-wrenching tragedy has struck a Chase Village couple, Nicholas Badal and his wife, who are attributing the death of their three-day-old son, Kemani Gordon, to the deafening explosions of fireworks and the failure of law enforcement to intervene. The incident occurred during the Divali celebrations on October 19, when loud fireworks began disrupting their Bholai Street East home as early as 7 am. Badal recounted how the incessant noise caused his newborn to cry uncontrollably throughout the night, describing the ordeal as unbearable. By the early hours of October 21, Kemani had become unresponsive and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. An autopsy on October 23 revealed that the infant succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, Dr. Marlon Timmothy, president of the Paediatric Society of TT, suggested that the adrenaline surge triggered by the loud noises could have contributed to a fatal cardiac event. Badal expressed his frustration with the police, stating that multiple calls to the Freeport station and the 999 emergency line went unanswered. He now seeks justice for his son, calling for stricter regulations on fireworks and accountability from law enforcement. The grieving father also appealed for counselling and financial assistance to help the family cope with their devastating loss.
