A teenager had a serious accident that nearly cost him his life, because he was electrocuted by the cross he was wearing around his neck, as a result of which he was hospitalized in a critical condition.
16-year-old Rayce Ogdahl from Oklahoma is lucky to be alive after his mother Danielle Davis was able to intervene in time and call an ambulance, according to a report by the New York Post.
The woman recounted that one night not long ago she heard a strange noise in the house and then screams from her son’s room. When she entered, she saw him running around the room in a panic shouting “help I’m dying”, his neck red and scarred by the chain of the huge cross he wore.
“The cross was cut and fell, but it looked like he had it on him. The neck took on the shape of a chain and the scar was deep,” he said, adding that “the room smelled of burnt hair and skin.”

He then called an ambulance and the 16-year-old described his injury until paramedics arrived. According to what he said, he was charging his cell phone and got up to pull it from the charger. But the cross touched the charger that was plugged in, as it was large and over his shirt, resulting in an electric shock.
In fact, he had burns on his hands because he grabbed the jewelry, while a 7.5 cm hole was opened in the bed where the cross fell, as if acid had been spilled.
The young man was hospitalized with second, third and fourth degree burns, as a result of which he needed a skin graft, while doctors emphasized that “he is extremely lucky to have survived”.
