HUNGARIAN BOY DIES IN NORWAY

 

A 13-year-old Hungarian boy died when he fell into the Bondhuselva river near the town of Sunndal, in south-western Norway, the news portal vg.no has said.
The boy slipped, lost his balance and fell into the river from a rock while seeking to take pictures during a family excursion, the portal said, citing Norwegian police. It took a rescue team two hours to lift the boy from the river. All efforts to resuscitate him have failed, a local police chief told the portal. His parents are also hospitalised in a state of shock, according to the portal.
