A four-year-old boy who was left fighting for his life after a house fire that killed his brother has died in hospital in Cork.
Cian Ellard (2) was killed in the blaze at his home at Elm Park in Wilton on the southside of the city in the early hours of Sunday morning.
His mother Stacey (26) remains in a serious condition in Cork University Hospital.
A Garda spokesman confirmed the four-year-old Calvin, who started school in September, died at about 2pm today.
The blaze broke out at their home shortly after 4am on Sunday.
All three members of the family were found in an upstairs bedroom.
Neighbours who smashed a window and pushed open the front door tried in vain to save the young family before they were overcome by dense smoke.
They were unconscious when rescued by firefighters and given CPR at the scene before being taken to Cork University Hospital, where Cian was pronounced dead.
Cork City Fire Brigade officer Edward Buckley said the fire appeared to have been a "tragic accident". It broke out in the downstairs kitchen before spreading upstairs.
There was no evidence of foul play.
