On Friday night, per TCSO Captain Tim Watkins, something went terribly wrong when the child became stuck during a game of hide and seek with cousins and other family members in the home on rural Murphy Road outside the south Georgia town.

According to Captain Watkins, the boy — who was reportedly between the ages of 8 and 10 years old — decided to hide behind some laundry room appliances during the game with his family. At that point, he became stuck behind the dryer and washing machine while hiding.

The game of hide and seek continued on for several minutes, and his family was unable to find him. According to WCTV, after “about five to ten minutes,” family members finally discovered the young boy trapped behind the appliances. They hurriedly moved away the washer and dryer, and removed the child from his tight crawl space.

Quickly, they determined something was seriously wrong, and began performing CPR on the child while calling 911. Emergency first responders arrived and continued the CPR. For a short time, per the news outlet, “the child was briefly responsive.” However, sadly, he soon “became unresponsive again,” and emergency services personnel rushed him to the hospital. Once there, tragically, the boy was officially pronounced dead.
