Boy trapped in borewell in India, dies


A two-year-old boy, who fell into a borewell in India four days ago, has died, government officials said early Tuesday morning.


Sujith Wilson's body had decomposed inside the borewell in Trichy town in Tamilnadu state.


Authorities tried their best to rescue the boy, an official said, adding that the digging process was stopped soon after the body was located inside.


Last night, government officials said that rescuing the boy would have taken 12 more hours. However, a foul smell from within the borewell led authorities to declare the boy's death. Officials later retrieved Sujith Wilson's dismembered body from inside the borewell and sent it for a postmortem examination.
