Connor was electrocuted when unplugging his Game Boy Advance from the wall socket in the hotel room in which his family was staying in Thailand.

Thai officials said the incident at the Sunset Beach Hotel in Patong Beach, Phuket, was caused because Connor's hands were still wet after his swim.

But his mother Kathleen Curry, who discovered his body in the room, insisted his hands were dry when he went to fetch the Nintendo Game Boy.

She warned other parents to beware of electrical goods bought abroad. "My son was only unplugging his Game Boy. He does it all the time at home," added Mrs Curry, 45, from Walworth, South-East London.

"There should be some kind of warning about electrical currents abroad because this wouldn't have happened in England.

"Connor had just eaten but was still hungry so we ordered some more food. When it arrived I was near the swimming pool but he was nowhere to be seen. So I went into our apartment to look for him but he was lying dead on the floor.

"He was aware of the dangers of electricity and was not stupid - he would not mess around with plugs."

Although Thai Police have recorded the death as an accident, many Westerners regard the electrical system in Thailand as dangerous.

I LOVE YOU LITTLE ONE


∗ ℂ ∗ ℂ ∗ ℂ ∗ ℂ

If love were something you could count

And you were seeking the amount

That adds up to my love for you

Here is what you'd have to do

Count every tiny grain of sand

On every shore on every land

Then add to that the quantity

Of stars in every galaxy

Plus tally up each leaf you find

On every tree and bush combined

Count every scale on every fish

From every ocean if you wish

To that you'll add infinity-----

You could add all your life you see

And still your counting won't be done

I LOVE YOU THAT MUCH LITTLE ONE

Thinking of you is Easy,
We Remember you each day.
The heartbreak that we feel
Just never goes away,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱

Nothing is the same no more
As we try to carry on,
We want the way it was before.
We found out you were gone,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱

Yes we have our memories,
We also have the pain,
But all we ever wanted ..
Was to have you home again.

lf we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true
We would ask with all our hearts
for yesterday and you
Were sending a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs to tell
you how much we miss you and to give you all
our love.

Missing you

Dear Connor,
Those who think of Connor today a little prayer to Jesus say:

I have been missing you all the time
Anytime I come on here,I'd love to see you and the pics are great
I would if I could I'd hold your hand.

Love always and forever
Jamesy

Our Special Boy xxx

A child is such a precious gift
To love, to hold, to treasure
A very special miracle
who gives us so much pleasure
But when that gift is taken
and our hearts are cold and torn
Amid this grief and sorrow'
we're so glad that they were born,
for they leave a precious legacy
even though we're far apart,
the love they left behind them
will stay forever in our hearts.
