Coral Springs Police are investigating the severe burning of a 13-month-old boy that occurred late yesterday Monday evening.
At approximately 8:16 p.m., police responded to the 11400 block of Northwest 35th Street in reference to a 13-month-old boy that was burned by the oil in a deep fryer. Initial investigation shows that the mother of the 13-month-old boy was frying chicken on the kitchen counter in a deep fryer when the 13-month-old grabbed the electrical cord. As he pulled on the electrical cord, it caused the deep fryer to spill hot oil on his body.
The boy was air lifted to Broward General Medical Center in critical condition with burns over approximately 35 percent of his body. After being treated at Broward General Medical Center he was transported to Jackson Memorial Burn Center where he is listed in stable condition.
