In Yekaterinburg, investigators are conducting an inquiry after a four-year-old child fell from a window of a high-rise building on Tavatuy Street. The tragedy occurred on the morning of May 13.
According to preliminary data, the boy opened the plastic window of the apartment on the 15th floor by himself and fell out. The child fell onto the lawn, which likely saved his life. He is currently in the intensive care unit of DGBK No. 9. Reports "KP-Yekaterinburg."
The Investigative Committee reported that staff are establishing all the circumstances of the incident, as well as the causes and conditions that may have led to what happened.
As noted by the police, there was no mosquito net in the apartment, which children often lean on, considering it a reliable support. Nevertheless, law enforcement reminds that even without it, open windows pose a serious danger to small children.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the boy is being raised by his mother and older brother. A passerby witnessed the incident—a woman noticed the falling child and even tried to catch him.
The official representative of the Sverdlovsk branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Valery Gorelykh, reported that this is already the fifth similar case in the region since the beginning of the year, one of which resulted in the death of a child.
— Many parents still do not install special locks on windows. Additionally, it is important to arrange furniture correctly so that children cannot climb to the window by themselves, Gorelykh emphasized.
Currently, police officers are reviewing footage from surveillance cameras to reconstruct the full picture of what happened.
