Boy, 4, dies five days after lorry accident

THE prayers of a tight-knit community are being said for the family of a four-year-old boy who died in hospital yesterday, five days after being run over by a coal lorry.

The death of little Kelvin Purcell is the second tragedy to visit the Purcell family.

In October 2000, his five-year-old brother, David, died after he was trapped in a fire that broke out in the family’s home in Cork.
