Queensland: 6-Year-Old Boy Dies From Cardiac Arrest Linked to Scurvy. "A 6-year-old boy died from cardiac arrest linked to the “sailor’s disease” scurvy, after a hidden vitamin C deficiency triggered a collapse following a routine MRI, a coroner has found."

A screenshot of an online news article from news.com.au published on September 3, 2026. The main headline reads: "Boy, 6, dies from cardiac arrest linked to vitamin C deficiency, likely caused by scurvy, coroner finds". The subheadline states: "A coroner has delivered shock findings after a young boy died from cardiac arrest linked to a 'sailor's disease' not seen for centuries." The byline credits Andrew Hedgman from NewsWire with a 3-minute read time. Below the text is a photograph showing the white and green outdoor signage for the Queensland Children's Hospital, partially framed by tree branches in the background.
