A 6-year-old boy, identified as Magnus Landon Kayde, died on November 28 after suffering a severe asthma attack at the Urangan shopping centre in Queensland, Australia.

Magnus experienced what was described as a "severe asthma attack" while on a shopping trip with his mother, Casey Morris, at the Urangan shopping centre. Paramedics responded to the incident at the shopping center and attempted to save the child at the scene.

According to the Queensland Ambulance Service, Magnus was in critical condition when paramedics transported him from the Urangan shopping centre to a nearby hospital. He later died at the hospital after those efforts to resuscitate him.

Magnus' mother, Casey Morris, confirmed her son's death in a post on a GoFundMe page. In that post, she stated that her son "tragically passed at the Urangan shopping centre" and described the loss as devastating for her and her daughters, as well as for others who knew and loved him.

Morris wrote that Magnus was "very unwell" at the time of his death and that he had previously overcome "a lot of hurdles and challenges." She also recounted that on the day he died, Magnus caught a toad and named it Jeff. She said people who were around him that day were impressed, as he was starting to come out of his shell.
