A nursery is supporting the parents of a three-year-old child who died after falling from a home.
Edward Popadiuc fell from the fourth floor of the Bridge Court flats in Stanley Road, South Harrow during his third birthday on November 1.
Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 1.10pm, where they attended the scene alongside Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended and found Edward in a critical condition.
This happened shortly after Edward left Little Aisha Nursery, where he was celebrating his birthday. As the nursery is located directly opposite from the flats in Stanley Road, a staff member Mary Da Costa attempted CPR to try and save Edward.
Edward was then taken to a north London hospital in attempt to help him.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Despite the efforts of emergency services, he died at 2.24pm.”
Mohamoud Yussuf, the owner of the nursery, called the situation “heart breaking and devastating”.
In response to the incident, Yussuf has confirmed that a GoFundMe page has started to raise money in “respite” for the family to help them out with whatever they need. The fundraising page has exceeded its goal of £500, with currently £685 raised.
Police have also confirmed that no arrests have been made and enquiries are continuing.
