‘Hide and seek’ boy, 4, dies in tumble dryer

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD boy was found dead in a tumble dryer yesterday after playing a game of hide and seek.

The child was reported missing from the garden of his home on Northcliffe Road, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, shortly after 10.30am yesterday morning.

A police helicopter was scrambled before the boy was found dead just under an hour later by his “distraught” mother and a police officer.
