Tragic Dryer Electrocution in Kansas | Wilmington News

from Wilmington News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Savonburg, Kansas, when a four-year-old child died after receiving an electrical shock from a 22-volt dryer while playing inside the home. Parents rushed the child to the hospital, but it was too late. Authorities confirm no foul play is suspected and are investigating how the accident occurred — a rare but terrifying scenario involving household appliances. This follows a similar 2018 case in Houston where a 10-year-old boy also died inside a dryer. Both incidents serve as a sobering reminder to prioritize safety around appliances, especially around young children.
