One-year-old baby boy dies after tragic fall down the stairs at home

A one-year-old baby boy has died after reportedly falling down stairs at home.

The 14-month-old, who has been named as Shea Joyce, was found at the bottom of the stairs at his home in Catleboro in Ireland on Tuesday.

He was found with serious injuries but died a short while later despite attempts to save him by a local doctor.

The child is understood to be the youngest member of a family of four who are well known in the area.

Councillor John Fleming told the Irish Mirror local people are rallying around his heartbroken parents, who have three older kids.

“They live in a cul-de-sac there and there’s a lot of good neighbours, good friends and relations on the road and they’ll rally around them at this time.

“It’s a hugely tragic accident and the whole area is in absolute shock."

Gardai were called to the scene but established the incident as a tragic accident, reports the Irish Post .
