Arkansas City Boy Dies In Household Poisoning

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – A 2-year-old Arkansas City boy is dead after drinking a household cleaner at a baby sitter’s home.

Ernest Manly tells KAKE-TV the sitter called him Tuesday morning to say Manly’s son, Davin, drank the chemical and got sick.

Manly says he took his son home and thought the boy was feeling better, only to see him suffer a seizure. Emergency crews took the toddler to a hospital, but he never recovered.

Authorities said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death. Manly says Davin would have turned 3 years old next week.
