A five-year-old boy who died after falling from one of the upper floors of a tower block of flats in east London has been named locally as Aalim Makail.
He fell from Jacobs House in New City Road, Plaistow, at about 06:00 BST on Thursday and was pronounced dead at the scene, the Met Police said.
Police are not treating his death as suspicious but Newham Council says it is “undertaking a full investigation”.
Aalim’s school paid tribute to a “beautiful, happy and caring child”.
The council described Thursday’s events as “heartbreaking and tragic”.
A neighbour previously said the boy’s parents were “inconsolable”.
Abi Gbago, chief executive of Newham Council, said it would provide an update once its investigation concludes.
She said: “Yesterday was a heartbreaking and tragic day for all concerned, and we are united both in our grief, and in our determination to ensure the family are fully supported.
“What they have been through with the loss of Aalim, their child, is truly devastating and they will need time and space to mourn such a terrible loss.”
The Boleyn Trust, which runs New City Primary School where the five-year-old attended, said: “Aalim was a beautiful, happy and caring child, he was much loved by his family and all the staff at New City.
“This is a terrible tragedy and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad time.”
Scotland Yard said a file would be prepared for the coroner.
