Antrim family loses two year old boy in tragic accident at home

A two-year-old boy has died following an accident at his family home in Antrim. It is understood that Archie Tafts, from Cloghmills in Co. Antrim, died due to injuries sustained after a cabinet fell on the toddler and crushed him. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment but doctors were unable to save him.

They released a short statement to thank everyone for their condolences, which states;

"Archie’s parents and extended family would like to thank all who have expressed their condolences at this distressing and difficult time however as this is a personal tragedy for them, they will be making no public comment"

Archie's death is being treated by the PSNI as an accident. We can't even begin to understand what they are going through and know that you will all join us in sending love and support this family's way.
