The youngest boy, who was injured in a gas bottle explosion in Bulgaria's town of Devniya, along with his two sisters, elder brother and a 52-year-old grandmother, died in hospital on Friday two days after the accident.

The four-year-old Rossen and his siblings were severely hurt after the elderly woman misused the gas bottle.

The condition of the other three children, all of them under-age, remains critical.

They suffered between 50 and 90 % burns and are now in thermal shock, doctors said.

The elderly victim has 70% burns and is given artificial respiration as she inhaled many hot gasses at the accident.

The life of the fourth kid involved, who is at the age of 10, is already out of danger.
