4-year-old boy passed away in hospital after trying to shield his siblings from a shed fire.

On Saturday, four-year-old Isaac McGregor was playing in a garden shed in Melbourne, Australia, with his brother Saige, three, and sisters Mavis, six, and 18-month-old Ashlynn. Suddenly, the unthinkable happened - a couch caught fire.

The children's mother, Jasmine Beck, 26, rushed to the shed and found Isaac using his body to try to shield his younger siblings from the blaze. Despite her best efforts, Saige and Ashlynn were tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

Isaac, along with his older sister Mavis, was quickly taken to Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne with life-threatening burns covering around 80% of their bodies. Unfortunately, Isaac passed away in hospital, and an update on GoFundMe confirmed that he 'grew his wings and reunited with his baby brother and sister'. The update went on to thank everyone for their donations and support, saying that 'this community is absolutely incredible.'

Mavis remains in hospital, and the family are left to grieve the loss of Saige and Ashlynn, and Isaac, the brave four-year-old who gave his life trying to protect his siblings.
