Four months on from the death of his bubbly and intelligent seven-year-old daughter Aishwarya, Aswath Chavittupara is no longer a broken man.
At their family home where he lives with his wife Prasitha Sasidharan and their three other children in Morley, the lime green walls are dotted with photo frames containing cherished memories of their smiling girl.

Pressure on Health Minister Roger Cook to stand down will reach a new high on the weekend with the parents of seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath organising a petition calling for him to resign from his health portfolio.
Aishwarya’s father Aswath Chavittupara and mother Prasitha Sasidharan have previously supported Mr Cook in continuing in his role to act on their requests to improve the Perth Children’s Hospital emergency department.
