A two-year-old toddler has died after a tragic accident involving a paddling pool. Hannah Kealy was playing in the blow-up pool when the accident happened close to her home on Friday evening (July 22).
Paramedics rushed to the scene in Co Laois, Ireland, where Hannah lives, before she was taken by ambulance to Temple Street Children’s University Hospital in Dublin. Doctors and nurses bravely fought to keep the tot alive but sadly Hannah passed away on Sunday surrounded by her parents Marie and Denis and sister Ella.
The tight-knit Laois Community of Timahoe and Stradbally have been rocked by the tragic young death and circumstances surrounding it. Tributes were paid to the family at a meeting of Laois County Council on Monday morning.
