5-year-old Afghan boy tragically dies falling from UK hotel window days after fleeing Kabul

"She was screaming, 'My son, my son.'"

A five-year-old boy from Afghanistan has tragically passed away after falling from the window of a hotel in England. It is believed Mohammed Munib Majeedi fell 70ft at around 2.30pm on August 19. The young boy was staying in the hotel with his mother. His tragic death comes just days after his family fled Kabul. According to the BBC, a witness said: "I was in my room. I heard a sound like I heard the body fall." https://twitter.com/CapitalYORKNews/status/1428435459613593606 "His mother was in the room with him. She was screaming, 'My son, my son.' "When I came here (outside) I saw the ambulance and police here," they added. The OYO Metropolitan Hotel, located in Sheffield, has been criticised in the past about their dangerous windows. According to The Sun, parents had previously complained about how wide the windows opened, especially in rooms located on top floors of the hotel. Police are not treating the death of five-year-old Mohammed as suspicious, but they have launched an investigation into his passing.
