This is Not a Cartoon Plot
At first I thought this was from a classic Warner Brother's cartoon. Unfortunately it's not:
A 10-year-old boy has been crushed to death by a giant snowball, police say.
Peter Strang had been playing with a friend when the snowball, reported to weigh a quarter of a ton, rolled down a hill and engulfed him.
The accident happened at about 1745 GMT on Saturday in Torphins, Aberdeenshire, Grampian Police said. There were no suspicious circumstances.
A police spokesman said the death was "the result of a tragic accident". They have not released further details.
There is a picture included in the story. At first I was afraid it would include two feet sticking out the top... thankfully it doesn't.
