A five-year-old boy has died after a wall collapsed on him and a six-year-old girl at an adventure golf course in south-east London.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the boy passed away in hospital on Tuesday morning, following the incident at Sidcup Family Golf, Chislehurst, on Sunday evening.
Officers and paramedics attended the scene around 6pm, with the five-year-old rushed to hospital by the London Air Ambulance.
A six-year-old girl was also injured, but has since been discharged from hospital.
