A 4-year-old child died in a “tragic accident” last Thursday after being electrocuted by a clothes dryer, according to Kansas officials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The incident happened in Savonburg, Kansas, while the child was “playing” inside a home, the Allen County Sheriff\u2019s Office (ACSO) said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n

The child “allegedly received an electrical shock from a 220v dryer,” the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

The parents rushed<\/a> their child, who was reportedly unconscious, to a local hospital around 9:30 p.m., according to authorities.<\/p>\n

However, the child was later pronounced dead at the hospital.<\/p>\n

No foul play is suspected at this time, and the ACSO is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

Officials extended their condolences to the family and responders involved following the incident.<\/p>\n

“The Sheriff\u2019s Office extends our heartfelt condolences to the family members and all those affected by this tragedy, including the Allen County dispatchers, first responders, and hospital personnel,” the office said.<\/p>\n

A 220-volt electrical current, which was involved in Thursday\u2019s accident, can cause serious injury or death, including cardiac arrest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While clothes dryers have been linked to thousands of home fires annually, primarily caused by lint buildup blocking exhaust ducts or overheating electrical elements, electrical deaths involving major laundry appliances are considered extremely rare.<\/p>\n

In one of the rare instances, a 10-year-old boy was found dead inside a dryer at a Houston-area apartment complex in 2018, according to<\/a> Fox 5 DC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A medical examiner determined the boy had been electrocuted, while investigators found no signs of injury or foul play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The death was ruled accidental.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
