A three-year-old boy dies after falling from a block of flats in Sutton, south London, police say. The incident occurs at around 5.20pm on Sunday, when the child falls from the property. Emergency services respond, but the boy later dies from his injuries.
Police arrest a woman in her 30s at the scene on suspicion of child neglect. The Evening Standard reports she remains in police custody, while the Daily Mail says she has been bailed and is due to return at a later date.
The reports describe the case as a potential neglect matter, but they do not provide details about the circumstances leading up to the fall. Police have not released further information about the child’s family or the specific location or height of the fall beyond describing it as from a flat within the building.
