JUST IN: Toddler With Fork Hoe Stuck In Head Dies
A two-year-old Kenyan boy died while getting surgery at the country’s main hospital. He had a forked hoe stuck in his head.
The boy died after his family and the public said it took doctors at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) more than 20 hours to let him in and give him emergency care.
But the hospital said in a statement on Tuesday that the delay was because the patient had lost a lot of blood and needed to be stabilized before surgery.
Later, the child’s mother told local news outlets that the boy had died during the surgery.

The boy was reportedly hit with the gardening tool while playing with friends in Kilimambogo, which is about 63 kilometers (39 miles) from the capital, Nairobi. He was taken to a hospital nearby, but he was sent to KNH.
The case has brought attention to KNH and other public health centers.
They are often accused of giving Kenyans poor services because the government doesn’t give them enough money to buy medicines and basic tools for doctors.
