AMMAN — A 14-year-old boy died on Friday after falling in an empty water well in Irbid.

Civil Defence Department staff administered first aid to the child and took him to Princess Basma Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The department said the teenager was suffering breathing difficulties due to the lack of oxygen in the 18-metre deep well.
