Alexandru said of the tragic accident: “I don’t want to cry anymore, I do it all day and all night. He is our angel now.”

Mary Da Costa, manager of Little Aisha Nursey, where Eduard had spent his last day playing, has set up a GoFund Me page to help support the grieving family.

“On Friday November 1, Edward was celebrating his third birthday – his very first birthday with us,” it reads.

“Edward left happy and smiling but unfortunately soon after he left the nursery to go home he had a tragic accident and fell from the fourth floor.

“Because of the proximity of the nursery to Edwards house, Little Aisha staff members administered first aid to try and save Edward but it is with a heavy heart that we inform you that he sadly passed.”

Rest in peace, baby Eduard. We’re sending all our thoughts and prayers to his family; we’re truly sorry for your loss.
