Boy, 12, who died in fall from upper-floor flat named
A 12-year-old boy who died after falling from an upper-floor flat in south London has been named as Renoy Ellis.
Paramedics were called to Ward Point on Hotspur Street in Kennington shortly before 16:30 BST on Friday but could not save the boy.
Police said there was "nothing to indicate the incident was suspicious" at this stage but an investigation was ongoing.
An area outside the block was cordoned off on Friday evening.
On floral tributes laid outside the block on Saturday morning, a message read: "RIP to my closest friend, gone too soon."
Another said: "With love and prayers, Nanna."
The area's Labour MP Florence Eshalomi wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Very sad to hear about the sad death of a young child who fell from a block of flats earlier this afternoon in Hotspur Street, SE11.
"My thoughts are with his family at this sad time."
It comes days after a five-year-old child died in similar circumstances in east London.
The boy - who has been identified as Aalim Ahmed - fell from the kitchen window of a 15th storey flat in the Plaistow area.
