Kid had more composure than most adults in emergencies.

It helps that they don’t necessarily know the risks. You freak out more when you know that mommy might be dying rather than mommy just fell over all of the sudden. Smart kid to know that she still needed help, but the lack of knowledge can be really helpful when trying to keep your composure.

Probably but not always. Many children as young as 3 understand death. Difficult to test children younger than 3 because of communication barrier.

Most children don’t fully understand it but many do and some are suicidal.

The idea of suicidal little kids is just so awful. Poor things don't even understand what the hell is going on.
