Kasargod, Nov 24: A two-year-old child accidentally fell into a utensil containing boiling water and breathed its last. The incident happened on Friday November 23 at Bandadka Chamakochi.
The toddler who met this ghastly death was Cyriac, son of George and Neetu. The mother had kept a utensil filled with boiling water inside the bathroom, before moving to the well to bring cold water to mix it with hot water for bathing the child. The child, in the brief absence of the mother, fell into the boiling water.
It suffered severe burn injuries. Although the child was rushed to a hospital at Mangaluru, its life could not be saved.
