Dubai:
A 18-month-old Indian toddler has died in a freak accident in Oman after a television set fell on him, a media report said today.
Aadhi, whose parents are from Kerala, was playing with the connecting wires when it crashed on him. He died on Friday due to intense bleeding. The body of the baby was flown back to India yesterday, the Times of Oman reported.
"We heard that both the parents were not present in the room when the tragedy happened," friends of the grieving family said. The baby was rushed to a private hospital in
Bausher.
"As the baby's internal organs suffered damage in the accident, the internal bleeding was beyond control, which led to the death of the baby," a family friend added.
The family was living in Al Khuwair and the baby's father reportedly works for a landscaping company.
