Three-year-old boy dies in lift incident in Galway Three-year-old boy dies in lift incident in Galway
(about 20 hours later)
A three-year-old boy has died in an incident in a lift in Galway city centre. The Irish Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has begun an investigation after a three-year-old boy died in an incident in a lift in Galway city centre.
Police in the Republic of Ireland said his death was a tragic accident and the incident is not being treated as suspicious. Solomon Soremekun died after falling into the lift shaft at the Hynes Building on St Augustine Street on Monday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the Hynes building on Augustine Street shortly after 15:00 GMT. Gardaí (Irish police) said his death was a tragic accident.
It is understood the boy was trapped alone in the lift. HSA inspectors are trying to establish how the boy fell into the lift shaft.
The building has been closed off, pending a technical examination. The three-story building remains closed to the public while examinations continue.
It is understood the boy's family were visiting the Department of Social Protection office in the premises at the time.
The toddler suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post mortem examination will be carried out at Galway University Hospital on Tuesday.
