A parallel was drawn with the , a two-year old Spanish boy who died when he fell into and became trapped in a 100-metre 330 ft well in 2019.
AFP correspondents saw the boy's parents walk down the slope into the horizontal tunnel, visibly crushed, before returning and boarding an ambulance without saying a word.
Officials had said at the time that initially, the child was stuck at a depth of about 30 feet but subsequently slipped further down, and the body was finally pulled out from a depth of 88 feet.
