Police in Russia`s Far East region of Primorye are attempting to define the cause of death of a 4-year-old child after he underwent a healing ritual, a police spokesman said on Monday.
"A 4-year-old boy was brought to the village of Sergeyevka by his mother to undergo non-traditional therapy against pneumonia. He underwent some sort of healing ritual. After that, the child died on July 10," the spokesman said.
He said an investigative committee and the region`s Prosecutor General`s Office are looking into the cause of death.
"It is so far unknown if the child died as a result of pneumonia or the ritual that was done on him," he said adding that the ongoing investigation should reveal the cause of death.
