Child electrocuted in Saudi park

A six-year-old Saudi boy died after he was electrocuted while playing in a public park with his family in the Gulf Kingdom.

The boy was playing near a fountain and was trying to reach the water when he got an electric shock that knocked him out.

“He was rushed to hospital but doctors failed to save his life,” the Arabic language daily ‘Sada’ said in a report from the Southern town of Baha.
