A shocking drama took place in a Texas family.

The parents took their 4-year-old son and they all went to the pool to swim. However, shortly afterward, the child, who loved sports, Francisco Delgado III, complained of stomach pain, diarrhea, and began to vomit. Unfortunately, the parents thought that their kid only had a bacterium that would go away on its own, so they didn’t worry and didn’t take him to the doctor.

One week after this incident, the child woke up one morning, said “Auch”, then died in the arms of his desperate father.

His mother told reporters: “Doctors told us he died of drowning. His lungs were full of fluid. Nothing could be done for him.”

It seems that doctors have made a diagnosis that is not very well known: dry drowning, it happens when someone breathes underwater, the fluid never reaches the lungs, as happens in the case of a normal drowning, but causes blockage of the vocal cords, which eventually causes the airways to close and the person to be unable to breathe.
