A five-year-old boy lost his life at Akyem Batabi, near Oda, in the Eastern region last Sunday afternoon when he was buried alive by a falling wall of a bathroom.
The deceased, Yaw Emmanuel and his colleagues were passing behind the mud bathroom, which had been weakened by the recent rains, when it collapsed, killing him instantly.
Briefing the Daily Graphic at Batabi last Sunday evening, the grief-stricken father of the deceased, Kwadwo Fosu, said his late son was in kindergarten one at Batabi Presbyterian basic school.
He said Yaw was playing with his friends some distance away from their house last Sunday afternoon when one of them rushed to inform him that a wall had fallen on him.
Mr Fosu said he rushed to the scene, and with the help of some friends, retrieved the lifeless body of Yaw from the fallen bridge wall.
He said that the body of Yaw had been deposited at the morgue of the Oda Government Hospital pending autopsy.
