When Ichud Hatzalah EMTs from Beit Shemesh arrived on Zakai Street in the city they found the six-year-old boy lifeless on the floor of the living room. The family found him in the tub and pulled him out. The EMTs began CPR and after prolonged resuscitation efforts the child was transported to the hospital in very serious condition.

Police report the child was in the bathtub with a 5-year-old sibling, playing together. When the older child did not get out of the water mom checked and immediately summoned Ichud Hatzalah.
