Three Schoolboys Boiled to Death After Accidentally Falling in Hot Sewer (Photos)

 

Tragedy visited a community recently after three eight-year-old boys fell into a sewer and tragically "boiled" to death in their school.

 

According to reports, the deaths could have been prevented if a hole in their school's sewer, known to reach temperatures of 80C, had been repaired quickly enough. 

 

Local reports claim that wooden decking covering the hot sewer broke or collapsed, leaving a two and a half metre wide hole. But, the school didn't take measures which resulted in the kids falling into the faulty sewer.

 

The three schoolboys, named locally as Daniil Slisarenko, Alexander Sanko and Daniil Viik were from the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

 

It is claimed the hole was covered in nothing more than cardboard as disturbing images showed their remains in black bags in the snow.

 

City newspaper publisher Yevgeny Sivayav said: "It is no exaggeration to say that the city is crying.

 

It is unclear why the boys were at school on January 29 because all educational institutions were supposed to be closed.

 

 

Sivayav said: "Why they were there at all is not clear.

 

A criminal probe has been launched into suspected negligence to respond to warnings from locals that the sewer was not safe.

 

A police source said: "The three boys disappeared on Thursday afternoon.
