Little Carter Walsh had 'the best day ever' with his family before tragedy struck
This is the heartbreaking final photograph of a toddler taken just minutes before he died when a fireplace fell on him in his family home. Carter Walsh, two, can be seen in the picture meeting a horse belonging to a family friend during a day out with his relatives.
Carter's aunt Natalie Prescott, 35, said he had gone out for lunch at a carvery restaurant with her mum, sister and daughter, Saskia Prescott, 16, on Wednesday. He had the "best day ever" when he got to visit her mum's horses - with photos showing him gazing up at one of them. Saskia and the property's landlord, who was at the address fixing a boiler at the time, phoned an ambulance and tried to resuscitate Carter straight away. Mum-of-four Samantha learned of the incident moments later when Saskia rang her to say that there had been an accident.
“She started to panic because she knew I was on my way back. I rang my mum. She came and picked me up. And when I got there, they were still working on him – the ambulance and the police. They let me see him and then they said, ‘right, we need to get him to hospital'." Devastated Samantha said when she saw Carter on the ward, he had looked ‘peaceful’ and there were no signs that he had suffered a life-threatening injury.
