The family of a premature newborn baby said he was killed by the light bulb in a make-shift hospital incubator that left his delicate skin with third-degree burns.

The hospital in Bolivia is now under investigation, according to local media reports, after an eight-week premature baby sustained burns to his arm and body after staff left him allegedly unsupervised for two hours in an improvised incubator with a domestic heater.
