Aalim Ahmed, five, died instantly after falling on a railing from the flat at Jacobs House in Plaistow, Newham, on May 16. An inquest into his death opened on Friday.
It heard how the schoolboy died instantly after suffering from multiple trauma injuries after a “fall from height”. The Mirror reports that his body was identified by his family.
Emergency crews were called after neighbours were alerted to the boy's father's "distressed" cries, Walthamstow coroner's court heard. Assistant coroner Ian Wade KC said he was opening a “coronial investigation” because he is “quite satisfied that Ahmed’s death was not from natural causes”.
The boy was previously named locally as Aalim Makial Jibril and a GoFundMe has raised just over £1,000 for his funeral costs. Flowers were left at the scene and Newham Council is investigating the circumstances.
Abi Gbago, chief executive of the council, said: “We are undertaking a full investigation to reach the fullest possible understanding of what happened, and will fully support any other investigations. Once all of the relevant facts are established and investigations are concluded, which we will do as quickly as possible, we will provide an update.”
Caroline Stone, head teacher at New City Primary School in Plaistow, said in the school’s weekly newsletter: “As you will have heard, Aalim had a tragic accident yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
