A 5-year-old Spanish boy has tragically died, about a week after a falling tree struck him along Bukit Timah Road, Lianhe Zaobao reported.

The incident itself happened on August 17 around 4pm, resulting in life-threatening injuries for the boy, who was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for treatment.

A Facebook post by a friend in church asked family members and friends to pray for his recovery, but he succumbed to his injuries last Friday (Aug 25). Stomp reported that the boy’s father is working in Singapore and had moved his family here.

 The boy’s condition was deemed too unstable to operate, doctors said, and he died after several days in ICU. 

The heavy downpour on Aug 17 caused high flood risks in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar road and Craig road, according to the Public Utilities Board.
