A 4-year-old child died in a “tragic accident” last Thursday after being electrocuted by a clothes dryer, according to Kansas officials.

The incident happened in Savonburg, Kansas, while the child was “playing” inside a home, the Allen County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) said in a statement Saturday.

The child “allegedly received an electrical shock from a 220v dryer,” the sheriff’s office said.

The parents rushed their child, who was reportedly unconscious, to a local hospital around 9:30 p.m., according to authorities.

However, the child was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

No foul play is suspected at this time, and the ACSO is investigating the incident.

Officials extended their condolences to the family and responders involved following the incident.

“The Sheriff’s Office extends our heartfelt condolences to the family members and all those affected by this tragedy, including the Allen County dispatchers, first responders, and hospital personnel,” the office said.

A 220-volt electrical current, which was involved in Thursday’s accident, can cause serious injury or death, including cardiac arrest.

While clothes dryers have been linked to thousands of home fires annually, primarily caused by lint buildup blocking exhaust ducts or overheating electrical elements, electrical deaths involving major laundry appliances are considered extremely rare.

In one of the rare instances, a 10-year-old boy was found dead inside a dryer at a Houston-area apartment complex in 2018, according to Fox 5 DC. 

A medical examiner determined the boy had been electrocuted, while investigators found no signs of injury or foul play.

In recognition of the important role farmers’ markets play in Kansas communities, Governor Laura Kelly proclaimed August as Kansas Farmers’ Market Month. In addition, Aug. 2-8 was also recognized as Kansas Farmers’ Market Week.

In both urban centers and rural communities, farmers’ markets give consumers access to fresh, locally grown produce and serve as an important link between food producers and consumers of Kansas products. Farmers’ markets also keep money in Kansas communities, which helps make small businesses stronger and positively contributes to local economies.

The number of farmers’ markets in Kansas has grown from 26 in 1987 to more than 116 registered farmers’ markets today. Farmers’ markets in Kansas can register with the Kansas Department of Agriculture as part of the state’s agricultural trademark program, From the Land of Kansas.

“We are excited about the growth and expansion of farmers’ markets across the state,” said Secretary of Agriculture Mike Beam. “Farmers’ markets serve as a great way for producers to connect directly with consumers and sell their products locally.”

KDA supports farmers’ markets by maintaining the Central Registration for Kansas Farmers’ Markets, which is shared with the public through an interactive map and market directory. KDA also provides educational resources through newsletters, workshops and webinars which help farmers’ markets across the state stay up to date with best practices including food safety regulations. KDA and From the Land of Kansas strive to serve Kansas farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses and consumers by expanding agricultural markets and providing support and assistance to help Kansas businesses grow.

Farmers’ markets are a vibrant part of many Kansas communities, and contribute to the health, well-being and quality of life for many Kansans. To locate a farmers’ market in your area, or to receive more information on how to register a farmers’ market please visit www.FromtheLandofKansas.com or email FromtheLandofKansas@ks.gov.
