Investigation finds boy was not run over twice

CHENGDU - A 5-year-old boy killed in a traffic accident in Sichuan province was buried on Sunday, ending a three-day uproar over the cause of his death.

On Thursday morning, Xiong Maoke, a kindergarten student, in Yunfeng village in Luxian county, was on his way home when he was hit by a truck.

He died immediately, but his body was not removed from under the wheels of the truck until seven hours later because villagers demanded instant compensation, said county officials at a press conference on Saturday afternoon.
