7-Year-Old Boy Dies Attempting to Recreate Famous Rapper's Burning Car Music Video Scene

A 7-year-old boy named Franklin Mises in the Dominican Republic tragically lost his life while trying to emulate a scene from a popular music video by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. Franklin, along with his older cousin, 11-year-old Perla and 14-year-old Angelina, found a container filled with flammable liquid while left unsupervised by their parents. They decided to create a fire near their home in the capital city of Santo Domingo, inspired by the video's plot.

According to the Daily Mail, over 50% of the boy's body was burned as a result of the incident. Doctors fought for more than two weeks to save Franklin's life, but their efforts were in vain.

The boy's father has partially placed the blame on the musician, arguing that he sets a poor example for young people.
