Overview
- The child, who fell into a cesspit at a home in Canals on Friday afternoon around 2:30 p.m., was pronounced dead at the local hospital.
- Relatives drove him to the clinic before police or an ambulance arrived, and doctors tried to resuscitate him without success.
- The case is in the La Carlota instruction office under prosecutor Romina Wisnivetzky, who ordered early on‑scene work at the property.
- Investigators are inspecting the pit and its surroundings, taking statements, and waiting for autopsy results to establish how the fall happened and whether any adult bears responsibility.
- A cesspit is a pit that holds household wastewater and solids, which can become a deadly hazard if uncovered or poorly maintained.
