Vietnamese boy trapped in pillar confirmed dead
Excerpted...
Authorities have confirmed the 10-year-old Vietnamese boy who fell into a hollow concrete pillar on New Year's Eve has died.
Thai Ly Hao Nam fell into the 25cm (12-inch) wide shaft of the pillar at a construction site while searching for scrap metal.
Rescuers in the province of Dong Thap tried to raise the pillar from its 35-metre deep hole and cut the boy out.
Authorities are now working to recover his body for burial.
Doan Tan Buu, deputy chief of the southern Vietnam province said there was not enough oxygen for him to survive and that he had suffered multiple injuries.
