Piece of sweet kills two-year old boy

Published

A two-year old Kuwaiti boy died after choking by a piece of sweet given to him by his father on the first day of Eid Al Adha on Sunday, a newspaper in the oil-rich Gulf emirate reported on Tuesday.

The father had rushed his son to hospital in Kuwait City but doctors found the boy was already dead after the sweet piece got stuck inside his throat.

“Forensic examination determined that the boy died as a result of choking by a piece of sweet,” Alanba daily said.
