A 4-year-old child has died after being electrocuted by a clothes dryer in a Kansas home, according to authorities.
The Allen County Sheriff's Office said the child was playing at a residence in Savonburg on Thursday when they received an electrical shock from a 220-volt dryer.
Deputies responded to a report of a child not breathing shortly after 9:30 PM.
By then, the parents were already rushing their unconscious child to Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center in Chanute.
The child was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Investigation Underway
Law enforcement says they are investigating the incident.
However, no foul play is suspected at this time, and it appears to have been a tragic accident.
The child's identity has not been released, nor have the names of the parents.
