Sound so terrible.  Really sorry for the boy.  But I wonder whether his body dissolved like in the spy movie or not.

hmmm it's a little different after reading the article.

He fell in a vat of water with sulfuric acid residue.


An autopsy will probably clear some things up. unless there was enough acid to burn any evidence of anything

The company says he fell into a vat of water that maybe had some acid in it. The police say he fell into a vat of acid.
