2-year-old boy in Cagayan de Oro dies after accidental scalding with hot water

A two-year-old boy in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental died after he was accidentally doused with newly boiled water, according to the GMA Regional TV One Mindanao report of Cyril Chavez on "State of the Nation."

Cody Ryan Balili's grandmother related that his father heated water to prepare the milk for his son.

His father poured the newly boiled water into a container, which he placed on top of the table.

He was then surprised when the boy started shouting. It was at this time that he realized the boy reached for the container and was doused with hot water.

Meanwhile, Cody's mother may not be able to make it to the funeral of her son because she just started to work abroad. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
