A 2-year old boy was hospitalized this Tuesday after a dead octopus was dislodged from his throat. The boy’s mother had actually came home from work only to find her boyfriend giving her child CPR upon realizing that he had stopped breathing.
ABC7 News:
“According to ABC affiliate, KAKE, EMS rushed the toddler to a hospital where doctors found and removed the dead octopus – its head about 2 inches in diameter – from the toddler’s throat.
The hospital notified police after the 36-year-old boyfriend’s account about how the boy swallowed the octopus and sustained minor injuries to his face were inconsistent with the evidence,” Lt. James Espinoza told Wichita Eagle.
While no names have been released, a 36 year old man by the name of Matthew Gallagher was booked on suspicion of child abuse. He has since been released.
