Five Year Old Moroccan Boy Trapped In Well For Five Days Has Passed Away

In a story that captivated the globe, a five year old Moroccan boy named Rayan fell over 100 feet down a narrow well Tuesday. Locals in Morocco quickly sprung into action in an effort to save the boy. The rescuers were able to get to the boy Saturday but a statement from the King of Morocco confirms that Rayan has passed away. Rescue workers lowered oxygen masks, food and water over the last few days in an effort to keep the boy alive.

Hundreds of locals showed up to the site to wait for good news. Dozens others worked round the clock to create a tunnel to get to the boy.

Rayan was pulled out Saturday by rescuers after an operation that lasted several days and had the world engaged. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw the boy wrapped in a yellow blanket after he emerged from a tunnel dug specifically for the rescue.

The circumstances that led to the boy falling down the well are uncertain at the moment.
