They had taken their son Atlas Wong on a hike to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal in May but he fell ill as they neared their destination
They pulled the plug on the trek after Atlas’ oxygen saturation levels fell to “worrying” levels
That afternoon, Wong and his wife bought a lollipop for Atlas from “a local store”.
Within 10 minutes of consuming the lollipop, Atlas began vomiting. He also lost his appetite for other food and had diarrhoea the rest of the day.
The couple also fell ill during the week-long hike: Wong developed a lower respiratory tract infection and Tan — who vomited several times — was believed to have also gotten food poisoning.
Making a swift decision, their hiking guides took turns to carry Atlas down the mountain.
