A family was left grieving on the weekend after their 23-month-old son was crushed to death by a section of a dilapidated building that collapsed on him.

Reports from the police are that at about 2:15 on Saturday afternoon, Anthon was playing with other children in a yard on Wellington Street, Kingston 14, when a section of an old building collapsed on the child. He sustained several injuries and was rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Denham police are investigating.
