Parents struggle to cope with loss of son

THE parents of four-year-old Karl Fox, who was killed in a freak accident at his school last week, are struggling to come to terms with the loss, the local parish priest, Fr Michael Hogan, said yesterday.

Karl, the second youngest of five children, was strangled when the hood of his jacket got caught in a bathroom window at Feakle National School.

It is though that the junior infant had wandered unnoticed into the school before it was locked last Tuesday evening and was trying to get out through the window.
