Nghệ An: Three-year-old girl dies after consuming rat poison
A three-year-old girl, identified as Đ. T. B. N., has died after accidentally consuming rat poison in Quan Thanh commune, Nghe An province.
On the morning of November 1, the child found a small bottle of rat poison while playing in her neighborhood. Because the liquid was brightly colored and resembled syrup, she ingested it. Following the ingestion, the child exhibited symptoms of poisoning, including vomiting.
Despite being rushed for emergency medical treatment and subsequently transferred to a hospital in Hanoi, the child could not be saved. Local authorities from the Quan Thanh People's Committee have visited the family to offer condolences and support following the tragedy.
