Kid Dies From A....GameBoy.

[souljaa]

A BOY of seven was electrocuted on holiday while charging up the Game Boy he got for Christmas.

Connor O'Keefe was unplugging the charger in his hotel room in Thailand.

Distraught mum Kathleen Curry, 45, who found his lifeless body on the floor, said: "We're all devastated." Kathleen, who bought the charger in Thailand, said: "My son was only unplugging his Game Boy - he does it all the time at home.


"There should be some kind of warning about the different electrical currents you get abroad because this would not have happened in England."


She said Connor was aware of the dangers of electricity and denied claims he plugged in the charger while still wet from swimming.


Police described Connor's death at the Sunset Beach Hotel in Phuket on Saturday as a tragic accident.


They insisted the complex, rebuilt after the 2004 tsunami disaster, was not to blame.


Yesterday the family, from Walworth, South East London, paid tribute to their "wonderful child".


Connor's cousin and godmother Chanelle said: "We're just devastated. He loved his holidays and computer games were his passion. He was absolutely brilliant at them."
