A 3-year-old child lost their life while trying to swing by wrapping the rope of a swing in the garden of their home around their neck in Samsun. The horrifying moments were captured second by second on the home's security camera, and an investigation has been initiated regarding the incident.

A terrible incident occurred on September 11 in the Çağlayan neighborhood of the Salıpazarı district in Samsun. 3-year-old Eymen Asaf Özcan climbed onto a chair in their garden, wrapped the swing's rope around his neck, and wanted to swing.

HUNG WHILE PLAYING

Özcan, while swinging, became suspended in the air when he could not reach the chair in front of him after stepping intermittently. Noticing the situation, his brother informed their mother, G.Ö. (26). G.Ö. took Eymen Asaf Özcan, whom she rescued from the rope, to Salıpazarı State Hospital by her own means.

DIED IN THE HOSPITAL

Özcan, who was treated here, passed away yesterday. An investigation has been launched regarding the incident captured by the home's security camera.
