A "cheerful and active" child who has been described as a "good eater" tragically passed away in hospital after consuming fridge magnets, an inquest into his death has found. Bohuslav Curi, a four-year-old boy from Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, died at Royal Stoke University Hospital on August 25 last year. An inquest into his death took place this week following the completion of a post-mortem report. During the inquest, it was heard the boy experienced vomiting for four days and abdominal pain.
