A four-year-old boy has died from a rare condition that caused him to drown a week after he went swimming.
The Sun reports that baseball-loving Francisco Delgado III, from Texas, died in hospital after complaining of severe pains on Saturday.
He had spent the week suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting after going swimming in the Texas City dike last week.
After the swim itself, he had only said he had a sore stomach, which his parents believed to be just a regular bug, KTRK reported.
Doctors later told his shocked parents Tara and Francisco Jr that he suffered from dry drowning, caused when someone breathes in water.
