A six-year-old child dies in hospital after being critically injured in an arson attack on a home in Waterford, according to reports from multiple outlets. The attack happened last month at a family residence on the outskirts of Waterford in the Republic of Ireland.
The coverage places the death in the context of wider injuries and fatalities from the same incident. RTE News says the child was one of two children critically injured and that four other members of their family were killed, linking the hospital death to the initial reports of the household tragedy.
Outlets largely agree on the location, timing, and that the child who was injured later dies in hospital. They differ mainly in how many family members are described as killed, and in the level of detail about the number and condition of other victims.
