A washing machine tragically kills a woman and her two children in Egypt

A tragic incident took place in Belbeis, Sharkia Governorate, in Egypt, where a woman, her son and daughter were electrocuted inside their house.

The 35-year-old mother, and her two children, "Mohamed" 8 years old, and "Farah" 3 years old, were dead in their apartment after they were all electrocuted by an electrical short circuit that caused their death on the spot, according to the Masrawy website.

The family's life was going normally on Wednesday. The father - a mechanic - went to work with his eldest son, but something began to disturb the husband's peace when he called his wife more than once without a response from her, unlike the usual.

The husband revealed, "I called my wife a lot, but I did not...I expected that she would go out to buy things for the children." At first I thought that it was normal, but with the passage of several hours without answering the phone, I began to feel that something had happened to her.

He added, I finished my work in the evening and went straight to the house to check on them, but as soon as I entered the apartment, my wife and children found dead bodies on the ground, and it was like a thunderbolt and I did not know the reason for that.

Until I learned that a short circuit had caused their death.

The mother who died of electrocution, her children went to save her after hearing her screams, but they did not realize that they would follow her;

They were also electrocuted one by one, without any of the neighbors noticing them.

One of the victim's relatives says that the victim died due to a short circuit in the washing machine, "she was washing and the electricity caught her and she died on time."

The neighbors of the victims did not feel any distress from the mother or the children, “No one heard anyone’s voice today.. and we only knew about the incident after the victim’s husband came back from work.” Hours later, the three bodies were taken to the mortuary of Belbeis General Hospital.

The bodies were kept in the mortuary of Belbeis Central Hospital, and the Public Prosecution office was notified, which carried out the investigations and completed the legal procedures, and ordered the assignment of a forensic doctor to examine the bodies and indicate the cause of death.
