Shut ... Hugo Boss shop yesterday
The little lad succumbed to his injuries four days after the horrific accident
at a branch of Hugo Boss.
He was out late-night shopping with his family on Tuesday when the fitting crashed from the boutique’s wall.
An off-duty doctor rushed to help the boy before paramedics arrived at the store in the Bicester Village retail outlet in Oxfordshire.
Last night a spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: “It is believed part of a shop fitting fell on him, causing serious head injuries.
“The child was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he subsequently died in the early hours of this morning.”
Police were last night withholding details of the boy’s identity until all of his relatives have been informed. A post-mortem will be carried out later in the week and an inquest will be opened.
Detectives and Health and Safety officials are now believed to be examining the mirror which fell on the boy, and similar fittings at the Hugo Boss store. Yesterday its website stated it was “temporarily closed”.
The Bicester Village retail outlet is popular with the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton.
A centre spokesman said: “Everyone is deeply saddened by this tragic accident. We send our heartfelt condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”
