[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] An 8-month-old baby girl who fell into a critical condition after being assaulted by her biological mother has ultimately passed away.

According to the Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency on the 25th, Ms. A, who was receiving inpatient treatment, died around 8 p.m. the previous day. It has been 43 days since the assault incident occurred.

Ms. A had been sustaining her life in the intensive care unit on a ventilator due to severe head injuries caused by her biological mother's habitual abuse.

The police have requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to determine the exact cause of Ms. A's death.

The foreign biological mother (22), who was arrested and indicted on charges of attempted murder for assaulting her daughter and causing her critical condition, was revealed to have punched Ms. A multiple times and thrown her onto the floor earlier this year.

The police explained that she repeatedly lifted the child to head height while kneeling and threw her onto a thin mattress.

As a result, Ms. A suffered extensive damage to more than three-quarters of her entire brain, including the entire left hemisphere, the right frontal lobe, brainstem, and cerebellum.

The biological mother admitted to the crime during police questioning, saying, "My daughter kept wetting herself and whining, so I did it."
