A dead three-year-old Saudi girl has been in the morgue at a hospital in the Gulf kingdom for more than five months as the father refuses to take the body before the hospital admits its responsibility in her death.

Hadi Hanan said his daughter, Soulaf, was admitted to hospital in the southern town of Najran with a ring trapped in her throat.

He said the hospital informed him of his daughter’s death after doctors failed to remove the ring, adding that a ‘medical error’ caused her death.

“He is still refusing to take her body from the morgue before investigation is completed and the hospital admits its mistake,” ‘Sabq’ daily said.
