The incident occurred on July 25 in the Mazamari River, where the baby’s family went fishing. Due to his delicate state of health, the child was admitted to the INSN in Lima. Doctors said that the fish caused serious damage to the child’s esophagus because it had bones, which caused a perforation and put his life at risk.
