2-year-old boy found with octopus in throat 2-year-old boy who was hospitalized after a small octopus became wedged in his throat is showing signs of improvement as the investigation pressed on, Wichita police said. The boy shows no immediate symptoms of long-term injury caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain, police Lt. James Espinoza told the Wichita Eagle. Police said the child's 21-year-old mother returned home from work Tuesday night

and found her boyfriend performing CPR on her son. Espinoza said the couple took the boy to hospital, where doctors found and removed the dead octopus - its head about 2 inches in diameter - from the boy's throat. Police said the octopus was not a family pet and was likely to be used for sushi. The hospital notified police after the 36-year-old boyfriend's account about how the boy swallowed the octopus and sustained minor injuries to his face were inconsistent with the evidence, Espinoza said. The boyfriend, whose name has not been released, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse and later released on bond.

What you do is in stark contrast to your passion. How did you venture into the industry? I work in the government sector as a writer, and I study accounting at UoB.

And is that when you were presented with modelling opportunities? Exactly! I felt my life changing, I started getting offers to model from everywhere!

How do you achieve a balance between studying, working, and modeling? I try my best to balance out my studies, work, and passion. A lot of photographers approach me but I never have enough time accept all shoots. I have a schedule, and every day I have a to-do list which I follow strictly.

More than three photographers were asking me to pose differently at the same time which left me totally confused. I had to stop and laugh. I agreed to go even though it was really hot because I have a passion for modelling and I would do it without having second thoughts.

Being a man in an industry which favours mostly women must be a bit of a challenge. Have you ever faced any insecurity while modeling? Yes, indeed.
