The death was announced through a royal statement not long after the boy was rescued from the well.

The fate of Rayan Oram gripped the country and the world with crowds of people gathering around the well and many others tuning in online.

The boy had fallen 32 metres down a narrow well, with rescue efforts being slowed down because of fears that a landslide may occur.

Rayan was lifted out of the well on Saturday evening, met with cheers from the crowd, but the announcement of his death was made minutes later.

Social media users continued to use the hashtag Save Rayan to express their condolences and sadness.

Pope Francis also addressed the tragedy, praising Moroccans for their unity on this occasion.

Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
