A Nigerian boy, Solomon Soremekun, was crushed to death by a lift
after getting out of his pushchair and walking into the shaft, Irish
media reported on Wednesday. According to reports, Soremekun was in the company of his mother and three siblings at the time of the incident. He reportedly got out of his pushchair after he became separated from
his family on the first floor and went through open lift doors into the
shaft. Unfortunately, the lift came down and crushed him.
Efforts by emergency services to save him were unsuccessful, the little boy died.
His body was deposited at the University Hospital Galway where a postmortem is expected to take place.
