As reported by the publication "My City," citing the head of the Education Department of the Aktobe region, Bulbul Kuzembaev, the child was preparing to go to school with his mother and sister. He went outside a bit earlier than the others and collapsed unconscious in the yard of their home. An ambulance was called for the boy.
"According to the doctors, the call was received at 7:39 AM, and the team arrived at 7:44. The child was at home, with his mother nearby. The boy was in a state of clinical death. Medics conducted resuscitation efforts for almost 30 minutes, but they were unable to save the child. He was not on any medical watch and had not complained about his health," the publication states.
Meanwhile, information circulated among Aktobe residents via WhatsApp that a stray dog had attacked the boy, but this was denied by the police, who reported that there were no signs of violent death on the body, and his clothing was intact.
Later, it was reported that the child lost consciousness and died from a heart attack, having been scared by a dog. The Education Department responded that the teacher misunderstood what had happened and acknowledged that she provided incorrect information.
It has been clarified that police are reviewing footage from surveillance cameras at the location where the first-grader passed away and are awaiting the results of an examination to determine what happened to the child.
Earlier, it was reported that a 10-month-old baby died in Atyrau.
