The bodies of a Syrian father and his son were pulled out of a water well in the Syrian Khan Sheikhoun area, this morning, in the southern countryside of Idlib, and preliminary information indicates that the deaths were caused by suffocation inside the well after they fell into it.

The governor of Idlib, Thaer Salhab, said in a statement to the Syrian news agency SANA, while he was at the scene of the accident, that the man and his son died of suffocation as a result of falling into the well while trying to retrieve the belongings inside.

He pointed out that the well, which was empty of water, was deep and had a narrow mouth, which led to their immediate suffocation and the failure of the attempt to save them by the wife and children.

The governor indicated that the competent authorities were instructed to complete the investigations and the necessary legal procedures to reveal and reveal more details and facts about this incident.
