Mohammad was playing with a rope used for line drying clothes outside when he decided to emulate execution on November 8. He stepped on his toy car and played with the rope but the car moved and the boy lost his life. 

Also in another incident in October a 12-year-old boy placed a noose around his neck and hanged himself with the help of his younger brother, as they were playing.

His fatal inspiration was public executions often seen in his home province of Kermanshah in western Iran.
