A tragic incident has taken place in south-east London, where a child fell from an upper-floor flat and died, according to the Metropolitan Police. Authorities were contacted at 4:23 pm BST, and police officers arrived at the scene on Hotspur Street, Kennington, where they found the child. Despite their best efforts alongside the London Ambulance Service, the child unfortunately did not survive the fall, and was pronounced dead at the scene. The police have restricted access to the area around the incident.
Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that any foul play was involved in the child’s death, and as such, the police are not considering the incident to be suspicious. However, the police are still investigating to try and understand more about the surrounding events.
This is a deeply saddening incident and our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the child who tragically passed away. The identity of the child has not been made public at this time.
