Doctors in Kuwait saved the life of a local teen age boy after he swallowed 460 sedative pills in a suicide attempt, a newspaper said on Thursday.

The boy was rushed to hospital by his family in a serious condition after taking the tablets which he had found at home.

Doctors at the emergency department in Kuwait City said they managed to save the boy after removing 460 pills from his stomach.

“Police said they would question the boy after his condition improves to determine the reasons for attempting suicide,” Alanba daily said.
