A father has tragically lost his son for treating him like a smart phone.
About a month earlier, the man had revived an iPhone he'd dropped into the toilet, by leaving it in a bowl of rice overnight.
Brad Ross, 20, panicked and tried the same technique after finding his four-month-old son floating face down, in the family swimming pool.
It was only the next morning, 14 hours after initially finding the baby, when the non-responsive child was rushed to hospital, only to be declared dead on arrival.
Mr Ross, speaking from custody through his lawyer, expressed remorse for his foolish actions which he claims, "were done with the best intentions and my baby's interests at heart."
Social media sleuths are claiming that the father is lying and knew full well that his stupid plan wasn't going to work after uncovering a private Instagram photo of the child from that night, with the caption, "RICE RICE BABY!"
