A two-year-old girl’s body was discovered at her home after she was electrocuted to death when her parents left her unsuprvised overnight. An investigation by Argentine police is underway to find out the causes of the accident. The child was left without any supervision in her home in Orán, Salta province, for several hours.
The incident is believed to have occurred around 3pm on Friday afternoon, Losandes reports.
Emergency services were only notified of the child’s death on Saturday when the victim’s mother returned to the location and discovered the child’s body.
Upon discovering the body, she immediately called for help, but emergency personnel were unable to revive the child, who had been dead for some time.
