A five-year-old boy who was rescued from a village well in east China's Shandong Province on Wednesday died hours later while receiving treatment at a hospital.
The boy was playing near his home in Yaogou Village, in the city of Anqiu, when he accidentally fell into a 100-meter-deep well on Tuesday afternoon. He was stuck around 6 meters underground, according to a local official.
More than 50 people and a dozen excavators worked to rescue the child from the narrow well.
After 14 hours, he was freed and taken to a nearby hospital.
