A 9-year-old boy, Josef Kazzan has died after he accidentally hanged himself with a rope while playing at his parent’s house in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire on Sunday. Read the rest of this entry at the cut...
Sources say Josef's parents took the agonising decision to switch off their son's life support machine two days after the freak accident at their home.
He died surrounded by his family at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) on Tuesday.
A neighbor identified as Steve Rhodes said he and Josef's mother Rachel had frantically tried to revive the dying boy with heart massage and mouth-to-mouth before paramedics arrived at the house, all to no avail.
“We managed to get a heartbeat and a weak pulse but he never came round after that. I can’t believe he’s gone,” he said.
“I miss the noise, I miss him bouncing around. He had so much energy in a small package. His mum and dad made that garden for the children, it’s like a wonderland. They had everything in there a child would ever want,” he said.
