AN eight-year-old boy has died after falling from a window at his home in Nottingham.
Emergency services raced to the scene in Sherwood and rushed him to hospital where he later died.
Nottinghamshire Police have launched an investigation into his death.
They said in a statement: “At 7.15pm this evening Nottinghamshire Police were called to Costock Avenue by East Midlands Ambulance Service.

“The child, an eight-year-old boy, was taken to Queens Medical Centre but has not survived his injuries.
“Officers remain at the address investigating the circumstances of the incident.”

Paedophiles caught with worst child sex abuse images MUST go to prison
Jail perverts
PAEDOPHILES caught with the worst child sex abuse images MUST go to prison.
No special pleading about mental health or allowances made for their “remorse”.
No excuses.
Let the shocking leniency shown to the BBC’s Huw Edwards be the trigger for a new intolerance towards perverts fuelling a heinous global trade which destroys children’s lives.
These illegal pictures and videos have different categories of severity.
Prison might not always automatically be the right course over the least serious.
But for truly sick individuals like Edwards who leer at horrific Category A material, we should change sentencing rules so jail time must apply.
It is both a fitting punishment and a meaningful deterrent for others.
What an obscene injustice that courts lock people up for failing to pay a fine for not having a TV licence, yet warped men walk free with a few rehabilitation sessions to attend, as Edwards did.
This Government was elected to bring about change.
Here’s one the public would be overwhelmingly behind.
Folly on fuel
THE low inflation which Labour inherited from the Tories looks precarious.
Although it stayed at 2.2 per cent in August it is mostly being held down by lower fuel prices, which fell 3.4 per cent in the preceding 12 months.
That should have alarm bells ringing for Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Her Treasury is seriously considering hiking fuel duty, ending the 14-year freeze (and a further 5p cut) secured by our Keep It Down campaign.
What a masterpiece of self-harm that would be.
Higher fuel prices will not just slam the brakes on the economic growth supposedly central to Labour’s mission.
They will turbo-charge inflation too.
Rule it out, Rachel.
Revisit Rwanda
WE did warn Labour . . . but it turns out “smashing the gangs” won’t fix illegal migration after all.
That’s the damning conclusion of the man hired by the Government to, er, smash the gangs.
And, guess what, borders security chief Martin Hewitt says we need a deterrent.
We did have one, of course.
The Rwanda scheme was already starting to deter some migrants at Calais even before it began.
Labour then axed it.
It’s not that it wouldn’t have worked.
Labour did not want it to.
They hated the Tory plan on principle.
And 10,000-plus small-boat migrants have now landed on our beaches since the election.
Not only is there no deterrent, there is a magnet — Labour’s apparently speedier asylum processing now providing a fast track to a new life in Britain.
So what’s the next idea, Sir Keir? Your man says the current one won’t work.
Raising fuel duty in Budget will lead to spike in inflation, Rachel Reeves warned
RACHEL Reeves is being warned not to raise fuel duty in the Budget as it would lead to a spike in inflation, campaigners say.
The Chancellor faces deafening calls to maintain the 5p-a-litre temporary cut introduced after Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Pressure is being heaped on the Treasury after inflation remained at 2.2 per cent yesterday — still above the two per cent target.
The warning comes after the success of The Sun’s Keep It Down campaign, which has helped freeze fuel duty since 2011.
Howard Cox, founder of FairFuelUK, said: “Fixing the foundations of the economy means not imposing needless tax levy rises on consumers, logistics, and small businesses.
“Labour’s uncharacteristic but welcome electioneering mantra will be at huge risk if Fuel Duty is hiked.”
Reversing the 5p cut and bringing back an annual inflation-style rise would bring £5billion to government coffers by 2028-29.
But Mr Cox said: “If such a punitive act is in the Budget, it will not only increase inflation but also put many vital haulage businesses and sole traders on the brink of bankruptcy.”
A Treasury spokesman said: “Following the spending audit, the Chancellor has been clear difficult decisions lie ahead.”
I’m a fashion expert – how Victoria Starmer could save thousands on frocks without resorting to millionaire donor gifts
WANT to look as stylish as the Prime Minister’s wife Victoria, but you don’t have a millionaire pal to pick up the bill?
There are plenty of high street brands that are elegant enough for a first lady but don’t cost the earth.
And they won’t get you into a huge political row either.
Sir Keir Starmer’s wife has been in the spotlight all week since it was revealed she had been gifted dresses and other items worth around £5,000.
The man who stumped up the cash was millionaire Labour donor Lord Alli whose gifts also included a personal shopper’s services.
To add to the row, the PM initially failed to declare the gifts to the Parliamentary authorities.
But far from stepping away from the spotlight, Victoria, 50, chose to take to the front row at London Fashion Week this week in a borrowed dress by designer Edeline Lee that isn’t even available yet – but is set to cost thousands.
So before Lady S stages her next wardrobe reshuffle, Abby McHale shares some tips on how to get those designer looks – but on a budget that we’d all approve of.
POLKA DOT JUMPSUIT
HERS: £1,995
OURS £49.95
THIS week, just as the news was revealed that Victoria’s gifted clothing had not at first been declared in the Commons register of MPs’ expenses, she attended the Edeline Lee show at London Fashion Week.
There she sat in the front row, in a polka dot piece from the designer’s latest range.
The collection won’t be available until the end of the month, when prices will start from an eye-watering £825, up to a frankly bonkers £1,995.
But you can find something similar from NA-KD for just under 50 quid.
WHITE DRESS
HERS: £450
OURS: £18
IN July this year, Victoria jetted off to the US for a NATO summit in a £450 white midi dress from Needle and Thread.
That’s quite a smart and expensive option for someone catching a flight from Stansted Airport.
While £450 is a steep ask for a dress, you can hit the supermarket for a similar version.
George at Asda does one for only £18.
KHAKI OUTFIT
HERS: £2,455
OURS: £67.98
LONDON Fashion Week isn’t the first time that mother-of-two Victoria has been seen in clobber by designer Edeline Lee.
Last week in Doncaster, she wore a khaki dress and jacket that she borrowed from the brand.
The combo comes to £2,455 all in, but you can bag a similar look on the high street for under £70, with this £37.99 jacket from H&M and £29.99 dress from Zara, saving you well over £2k.
That could pay for a holiday!
FLORAL DRESS
HERS: £227.50
OURS: £11.09
SPENDING a day at the races this summer, Victoria wore a green floral midi dress from, you guessed it, Me+Em.
The kind of gown that every woman should have in their wardrobe, this style and pattern is a classic that you can wear time and time again.
However, at £227.50, the Me+Em dress will be a steep cost per wear.
Instead, this floral number from Quiz clothing is in the sale, currently £11.09 – an absolute steal in comparison
RED SHIRT DRESS
HERS: £445
OURS: £27.60
SHOWING her full support to husband Keir on election day, Victoria stepped out to cast her vote in a bright red shirt dress from American brand Simkhai.
While this frock will set you back a casual £445, you can buy a similar red shirt dress from Joanie, which is currently on sale, reduced to £27.60 from £69.
CREAM JACKET
HERS: £295
OURS: £29.99
WAITING for the election results in July, Victoria kept her look fairly neutral with a cream jacket and wide-leg trousers.
The top half of her outfit was once again from her favourite brand, Me+Em, costing £295.
Luckily for those without that kind of cash to splash, these structured jackets are plentiful on the high street.
You’ll find this more budget-friendly version at H&M for just £29.99
RED DRESS
HERS: £445
OURS: £27.60
CONTINUING the red theme after Labour’s election triumph in July, Victoria wore a dress in that colour on the steps of Downing Street.
It came from one of her favourite brands, Me+Em, which is said to be “intelligent style for intelligent women”.
Red is still a big colour this season and there are plenty of dress options on the high street, such as this one from H&M.
