Six-year-old Elliot English, who was critically injured in an arson attack on his family home in Waterford, has died. Elliot passed away at Children's Health Ireland in Crumlin. His parents, Kim and Philip English, and brothers, Callum and Jayden, all died in the same attack on October 13. Another child remains in critical condition. Six individuals have been arrested in connection with the attack, with two currently before the courts. The funerals of the other family members were held last month, with Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan describing the incident as 'heart-wrenching' and calling for action against the drug trade.
The English family has expressed profound sadness over Elliot's passing, following the tragic events that claimed the lives of his mother, father, and two brothers. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time and has asked for continued thoughts and prayers for the child still in critical condition.
