A tree fell on the Winthrop School playground yesterday soon after dismissal time, injuring two children and one adult.
This morning, officials announced that one of the children has died from those injuries. The other child and the adult who were injured have been released from the hospital.
“There are no words to convey such a profound loss,” Superintendent Cari Berman and Mayor Jen Grigoraitis wrote in a joint statement. “Our hearts are and will remain with the student's family, friends, classmates who are navigating this unimaginable tragedy.”
