Wilson was trapped in a borewell after he fell down in it. His body was retrieved in a decomposed state, following an 82-hour rescue operation lasting four days.

The body was sent to a government hospital for autopsy and then handed over to his parents, who buried him later.

Immense efforts were made to rescue the boy, advanced equipments were used like German-made drilling machines, firefighters, rescue workers and oxygen supplies but they were slowed down by the rocky soil and rain.

This was when India was celebrating Diwali. Several leaders payed their condolence to the innocent Wilson who lost his life at a very tender age.
