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.

{Angel Wings}

~A handsome little boy full of wonder and delight
Now a STAR in the sky, shining so *BRIGHT*
I can still hear your laughter babe, and picture your smile :D
Can't you come back Connor, if just for a while?
You were taken so sudden, we had no time for goodbyes
Our hearts are broken, we cant help but cry
Why you? Why now? What is the plan?
I know that these answers are all in Gods hands
I hope you are happy boy, up in the clouds
We love you dearly, you made us so proud!
Athough you are not with us boy, we will always sing...

Happy Birthday Angel xxx

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories build a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven,
and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say "goodbye",
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know xxx

Missing you even more today than yesterday boy, but not as much as i will tomorrow. RIP my angel, We love you all the world! x X x

A Special Angel- Connor

There's a special angel in heaven
that is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him,
but where God wanted him to be.

He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star
And though he is in heaven
He isn't very far
He touched the heart of many
like only an angel can do
I would've held him more often
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the heavens up above,
please take care of Connor,
and send him all my love.

LOVE AND MISS YOU SOO MUCH!!
