Baby boy, aged 2, falls in fire, burns to death in rubbish heap (photo)
A two year old baby boy, Lulo Patekile has died after he fell into a burning rubbish heap in South Africa.
According to iol.co.za, the two-year-old boy was playing outside with three other children when tragedy struck.
An unknown man had started a fire in a hole, and was burning some rubbish. Only for him to leave the fire unattended. Probably wanting to find out just how hot it could get, Little Lulo and his friends gathered round the already ravaging fire and fuelled it with wood and papers.
Unfortunately, Lulo got overwhelmed by the heat and fell into the hole, where the heap of rubbish
(including old mattresses) was burning, and got killed by the scotching flames.
Lulo’s aunt, Nomfundiso Mswana, 41, spoke to the Daily Voice as his traumatised mother, Asanda, was rushed to hospital after she collapsed at the scene. She said:
