A boy who died after emergency services were called to a home in Swindon has been named and pictured – as a fundraiser is set up to help the family.
Two-year-old Kylan was tragically pronounced dead by medics after emergency services raced an address in Beech Avenue, Pinehurst, on Friday (14 August).
The toddler, who was a twin, is understood to have passed away while sleeping. The exact circumstances are being investigated by the coroner.
“There are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances and our thoughts are with his family at this devastating time”, Wiltshire Police said.
Kylan’s three brothers, aged two and with Down’s Syndrome, five and ten, witnessed the incident – which saw Great Western Air Ambulance scrambled.
A fundraiser has since been launched to help the family with the costs of a funeral, pay for emotional support for his brothers and support his mother.
On GoFundMe (donate here), it states: “A mother went to wake her twin boys, expecting to find them bright and ready for the morning.
“Instead, she found that one of her little boys had slipped away in his sleep. Just hours earlier, she had tucked a happy, healthy two‑year‑old into bed. By morning, he was gone forever.
“His brothers, aged 10, 5, and his twin, (who has Down’s syndrome) all witnessed the heartbreak, and confusion of that unimaginable moment.
“The little boy was Kylan, just 2 years old. A funny, mischievous, curious toddler who loved exploring the world around him.
“He was surrounded by love, and although his time here was heartbreakingly short, he has left a lasting imprint on every heart that knew him.
“This fundraiser has been created to support Kylan’s family with funeral costs, emotional support for his young brothers, and practical help for his mother as they navigate life after such a devastating loss.”
