## Key points

- A toddler died after falling from a fourth-floor hotel window in Cyprus.
- His father was fined €3,000 after admitting a reckless act.
- A full inquest is scheduled for 6 January.

## Summary

A two-year-old boy died after falling nearly 40ft from a fourth-floor hotel window in Cyprus on the first day of his family’s holiday. His father, Joshua Foster, had placed him on the sill to show him a waterpark, not realising the window was open; an inquest heard the fall caused fatal injuries to the child’s head, vital organs and body.

Foster admitted in a Paphos court to causing his son’s death through a reckless act and was fined €3,000 (£2,500). The judge described it as an innocent mistake and said alcohol consumed earlier had not contributed. The inquest was adjourned until 6 January; the article also notes that Cyprus hotel-window rules differ from UK guidance on restricting openings where children could fall.
