New Delhi, Rajab 22, 1437, Apr 29, 2016, SPA -- The deaths of seven disabled children are thought to be linked to contaminated drinking water at a government home for people with special needs in northern India, officials said Friday. "The children were brought in with similar complaints of diarrhoea, vomiting and dehydration. Most of them went into septic shock, which can be a result of toxins or sometimes a result of bacterial infection in the body," dpa quoted hospital superintendent Ashok Gupta as saying. Police said preliminary investigations showed the children had fallen ill after consuming dirty water but autopsy reports have yet to reveal the exact cause. --SPA 21:26 LOCAL TIME 18:26 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
