Coronial inquiry into death of 10-month-old Poseidyn Hemopo-Pickering begins

A paediatrician who assessed 10-month-year-old Poseidyn Hemopo-Pickering, who died in 2020, says his injuries were so severe, it was like he'd been swung into a hard surface like a cricket bat. Poseidyn was rushed to Middlemore Hospital and then taken to Starship Hospital on the evening of September the 5th, 2020, after being found unresponsive at his Manurewa home. He died hours later. But no one has been held responsible. A coronial inquiry into Poseidyn's death has begun at the Coroner's Court in Auckland today. Jessica Hopkins reports.
