Connie Francis, 'Pretty Little Baby' singer, dead at 87
Connie Francis, known for musical hits such as "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" and "Pretty Little Baby," has died. She was 87. Ron Roberts, the president of Francis' record label Concetta Records, first shared the news on the artist's official Facebook page on Thursday. "It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that I inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night." "I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first to learn of this sad news. More details will follow later," the message concluded. Earlier this month, Francis revealed she had been hospitalized for "extreme pain." "I am back in hospital where I have been undergoing tests and checks to determine the cause(s) of the extreme pain I have been experiencing," she wrote on Facebook. "I am pleased to advise that following a series of tests and examinations in Intensive Care, I have now been transferred to a private room." Two days later, she informed her fans that she was "feeling much better after a good night," Her last post was on July 4. "We were expecting it, unfortunately … they couldn't locate where the pain was exactly," Roberts, who said Francis was experiencing trouble with her hip, told People of her death. "It's been two months of the most extreme high then the most extreme low," he said. Roberts told the outlet that Francis began to "deteriorate" after leaving the hospital earlier this month and was "unconscious" for at least two days before she died. "She slipped away peacefully," he said. Francis, who first found fame and success in the 1950s, was best known for hit singles such as "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own," "Where the Boys Are," "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You" and more. In 2018, Francis opened up about the story behind one of her biggest hits, "Who's Sorry Now?". "My father wanted me to record that song for a year and a half and I turned him down," she told Fox News Digital. "It was a square song, it was written during the 1920s, and the kids on 'American Bandstand' would laugh me right out of the show. He said, 'If you don't sing this song, sister, the only way you'll get on 'American Bandstand' is if you sit on top of the television set.' So I did it as the last song." "I stretched the other songs before I got to 'Who's Sorry Now' so there wouldn't be time," she continued. "But there were 16 minutes left. My father said, 'If I have to nail you to that microphone, you're gonna do "Who's Sorry Now."' So I did it. I didn't like it… I remember that record had been out for three months and it went nowhere... But Dick Clark liked it… It was a cosmic moment for me. It's a moment I'll never forget. Because I knew in five seconds my life would never be the same. And it wasn't. It was a happy shock." Francis faced a number of personal challenges throughout her life, including a suicide attempt in 1984, surviving rape in 1974 and family turmoil. "To make a short story long, in the '80s, I was involuntarily committed to mental institutions 17 times in nine years in five different states," she told the Village Voice in 2011. "I was misdiagnosed as bipolar, ADD, ADHD, and a few other letters the scientific community had never heard of. A few years later, I was discovered to have had post-traumatic stress disorder following a horrendous string of events in my life." Francis was married four times and is survived by a son, Joseph Garzilli Jr.

New mother donates 3 ltrs of breast milk to Milk Bank
Anantapur: In an inspiring act of maternal generosity, a mother from Anantapur has donated three litres of breast milk to the Anantha Mothers' Milk Bank, drawing heartfelt appreciation from government hospital officials and healthcare staff. Dr Gujjula Hemalatha, Resident Medical Officer (RMO) at the Government General Hospital (GGH), Anantapur, lauded the noble gesture, calling it a record donation to the milk bank so far. 'Mother's milk is equal to nectar for a newborn, and many mothers who cannot breastfeed are in distress. Triveni, the mother who made this donation, deserves immense respect,' said Dr. Hemalatha. Triveni, wife of Mallikarjuna from Rayadurgam, gave birth to a baby boy on June 24 through a normal delivery at the government hospital. As the baby was born prematurely in the seventh month, with low birth weight, he was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Despite her own challenges, Triveni continued to breastfeed her child and generously donated excess milk to help other infants in need. Dr Hemalatha remarked, 'Her decision to help ensure the health of other babies as well reflects a true mother's heart. We are indebted to such selflessness.' In recognition of her generosity, Triveni was honoured in a traditional 'Puttinti Sare' (ceremonial gifting) by the hospital. The felicitation ceremony was attended by nutritionist Sai Pallavi, counsellor Radha, staff nurses Sunitha and Parveen (SNCU), and security guard Saroj, among others. This act stands as a shining example of how one mother's compassion can nurture many lives.

Newborn found abandoned inside bag in train
Moradabad: A newborn was found abandoned inside a bag placed in an AC second-class coach of the Summer Special Patna-Chandigarh train and has been admitted to a hospital, officials said on Monday. On Saturday around 2:00 pm when passengers noticed the bag moving it caused panic, leading them to alert railway officials. Upon inspection, the infant was found inside the bag. According to Chief Medical Superintendent Dr Nirmala Pathak, the baby had difficulty breathing, likely due to being confined in the bag for a prolonged period. However, the infant began responding after receiving immediate medical attention. Government Railway Police (GRP) Inspector Mustaquim Ali said, 'Upon receiving the alert, personnel from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Childline quickly responded and took the infant off the train when it reached Moradabad Railway Station.' The newborn was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) ward of a local hospital where pediatric specialists are providing intensive care. Doctors confirmed that the umbilical cord was still attached, indicating the child had been abandoned shortly after birth. Railway authorities said they are reviewing CCTV footage from stations along the train's route to identify the person responsible for the abandonment. Meanwhile, the infant remains under close medical supervision and an investigation is underway, they added.
