Five-year-old Marno Muller is currently fighting for his life after he was found hanging from a slide at a school in Springs on Thursday morning.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD MARNO WAS UNRESPONSIVE

According to his family, the creche said Marno was playing like normal on the slide on Thursday morning when the strings of his jacket hoodie got stuck at the top of the slide. And as Marno was sliding down, the strings got tighter, and he began suffocating halfway down the slide.

According to the family, the teacher thought Marno was just playing around as she could still see his feet move.

It is unclear how long Marno was without oxygen, but it is believed that he was already blue in the face and unresponsive when they found him hanging from the slide.
