Rayan Aourram 5, has died after four days rescuers extracted his body from a deep well.
The boy fell down at a 32 meters dry well on Tuesday. Moroccan officials announced Rayan's death at about 10pm local time. King Mohammed VI expressed his condolences to the boy's parents in a statement.
His body was wrapped in a yellow blanket after he was taken out through a tunnel dug specifically for Rayan's rescue mission.
"Our sincere condolences and sympathy to the family of the child Rayan and to the brotherly Moroccan people and to all humanity that grieved for his loss. May God have mercy on him and put him in his spacious gardens and inspire us all patience and solace," said Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid in a tweet.
خالص تعازينا ومواساتنا لأسرة الطفل ريان .. وللشعب المغربي الشقيق .. وللإنسانية جمعاء التي فجعت لفقده … رحمه الله وأسكنه فسيح جنانه .. وألهمنا جميعاً الصبر والسلوان ..

Five bulldozers are used to dig vertically to a depth of more than 31 meters, Morocco's official MAP news agency reported. Then on Friday, a horizontal tunnel excavation started to reach the trapped boy.
