A two-year-old child, who was stuck in a 150-foot-deep unused borewell here, was pulled out on Tuesday morning after almost 110 hours, but could not survive, officials and doctors said. “A postmortem of the body will be conducted soon,” PGIMER Medical Superintendent A K Gupta said. Earlier, when the child was brought at the facility, he was taken to the Advance Pediatrics Centre, the medical superintendent said. The boy, who turned two on Monday, was stuck in the seven-inch-wide borewell at a depth of 125 feet. A parallel borewell of 36-inch diameter was dug up to rescue the child.
