4-åring med lunginflammation dog under exorcism

I framtidens historieböcker kommer man kunna läsa att exorcism förekom fram till 2000-talets första hälft.

A 4-year-old boy sickened with pneumonia died in the Primorye region after being made to participate in an exorcism by a Korean shaman, news reports said Wednesday.

The parents of the child asked shaman So Dyavor, 59, and her husband, Kim Sende, 62, to perform a ritual to exorcise “evil spirits” that they believed were plaguing him, the local news web site Primamedia.ru reported.

The child stopped breathing during the ritual in the local village of Sergeyevka on Saturday.

The family intended to request help for the grandmother, who has diabetes, but So Dyavor told them that the entire family was jinxed and the boy had put a curse on them, the report said.
