6yr Old Boy Dies in Freak Accident Tobago!

[turbosingh]

A freak accident in Tobago has claimed the life of six-year-old Eric Gittens of Maraval, Trinidad.

Eric was vacationing in Tobago with his mother at Turtle Beach Hotel when tragedy struck. An autopsy is to be performed today to determine the cause of death.

According to police reports, around 5 p.m. on Friday, Eric, a first year student of St Andrews Prep School in Maraval, was around the poolside of the hotel kneeling on a chair when a concrete slab flipped up from the table, struck him to his head, pinning him to the ground.

His mother, 47-year-old Susan Gittens, screamed for help and was assisted in the removal of the slab.

Eric was then rushed to Scarborough General Hospital but it was too late, as he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The Express was told the hotel’s general manager, Leslie Amadee, could not assist at the moment as he was not on the compound.

The Gittens family checked out of the hotel following the incident.

RIP

kneeling on a chair? how is that possible without kanting over? and how de jail a concrete slab up and decide to fall jusso? hmmmmm... the way i see it, the child was kneeling on those cabana thingies while resting his hand on the circular table slab that was loose and when increasing pressure was applied, it raised of and slid on top of him, thus pinning him to death...

Parents should be charged for neglegence and larceny

Wild trini kids again..would never hear such things about a white kid staying in tgo...they intelligent and well behaved.

As much as dislike american ignorance, their kids are much more articulate and well behaved than the lil monkeys (no racist, including everyone here) we have in trinidad.
