Wallace Passos

The death of three-year-old Wallace Passos yesterday (Sunday, April 26,, 2015) took place as his sister celebrated her 14th birthday with fiends. No one saw the toddler as he went through a window in the living room on the 17th floor  — windows that are supposed to be child proof. There are no balconies on the building. It is not clear just who was home at the time of the accident. A man who is identified by the Toronto Sun told that newspaper that the lad was gone in an instant. Someone cried out that Wallace had fallen. “That was it. It was just all of a sudden like that,” Frank Penner told the Sun. He said party guests ran downstairs calling police on the way. Officers and paramedics responded just after 2 p.m.and made life saving procedures but the boy was dead at hospital.
