A gruesome game ended in disaster for 5 year old human torch terror victim Tommy Thompson.
Tiny tot Tommy was playing at his home near a box of matches when he swallowed a battery which he had removed from his brother’s pocket calculator.
A doctor at the hospital where Tommy was treated said the battery was removed from Tom’s tummy without difficulty, and he agreed that Tommy was similar to a torch in that there had been a battery inside him.
