Leon Connon has passed away following the freak railing accident which left him fighting for his life.
The 14-year-old’s parents, Dearbhail and Frank, were by his bedside when he died in Cork University Hospital.
They are understandably heartbroken and are said to be among the presence of friends and family at this time.
It was understood that Leon was feeling unwell and had intended on resting on the railings but then collapsed and got wedged between them on Saturday evening.
His friends raised the alarm after which he was taken to Cork University Hospital by the emergency services.
