Student dies from electric shock retrieving fishing hook
KOTA BARU: A Form Two student died after being electrocuted while retrieving a fishing hook stuck on an electrical wire in Kampung Langgar yesterday.
On the afternoon of a recent day in Kampung Langgar, a tragic accident claimed the life of a 14-year-old student, Mohamad Amiruddin Anwar Md Azam, due to electrocution. The incident occurred when Amiruddin attempted to retrieve a fishing hook that had become lodged in an electrical wire. His 10-year-old cousin, Ahmad Eizz Rayyan Ahmad Ridhuwan, also suffered electrocution while attempting to assist his cousin.
Both young victims were rushed to the emergency unit of Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II, where they received treatment. Despite the efforts of medical professionals and the diligent actions of their younger brother, Amiruddin succumbed to his injuries, leaving him without a pulse at the hospital. His body was eventually laid to rest at a local cemetery.
Meanwhile, the cousin who was also affected by the incident, Ahmad Eizz Rayyan, is currently in stable condition and has undergone two electrocardiogram tests. His family is understandably concerned, but doctors have noted that his cardiac condition is being closely monitored. Witnesses to the tragic event described how a man came to their aid, helping to lift the lifeless bodies of the two teenagers and initiating CPR until the ambulance arrived.
