“They saved the life of a two-year-old baby whose mother died of pneumonia five days ago,” wrote the head of the region, Alexander Brechalov, on his Facebook.

The head of the republic said that the specialists had to break the door to get into the apartment.

The checks were organized after the bodies of a woman and her 13-year-old son, who suffered from cerebral palsy, were found in one of the apartments in the city of Mozhga. The child, according to preliminary data, died a week after the death of his mother.

On December 9, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of negligence on this fact.
