Analysis
Dui is Metal; in winter, Water thrives and Metal rests. Dui in the Hai month falls into sickness phase and is also resting. Both month and day are Water; abundant Water sinks Metal — a bad image. The Subject line restraining the Use Spirit means he will not return. Both Subject and Object lines restrain the Use Spirit Hai Water. Children Hai Water meets the day and month in thriving phase, but together with month and day forms three Hai that clash the Year-Stem — great misfortune. The child is no longer alive.
Actual outcome
Confirmed that the child is no longer alive. The wife reported that many readers had given the same result; from now on they would search no more.
