A 5-year-old boy tragically died after a radiator fell on his head while he was playing at home.

Saleh Aslam was playing his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire when tragedy struck. It was during his school break, and the 5-year-old boy was having a great time, just like any other child his age. However, what was supposed to be a fun afternoon turned into a nightmare for his family.

On that fateful day, a 40kg towel radiator suddenly fell off the wall and hit Saleh on his head. His mother, Bibi Khadija, immediately called for emergency services, but it was too late. Saleh was rushed to Watford General Hospital, where he later succumbed to a brain injury. His parents were devastated by the loss of their beloved son.

His father, in an interview with the Watford Observer, fondly remembered Saleh as the most beloved and naughty of his four children. He was proud of Saleh's caring and humble nature, as well as his strong sense of identity as a Muslim and a British citizen. Saleh's funeral, held on November 2, was attended by hundreds of people who knew and loved the young boy.

Saleh's mother described him as a lively child who would win anyone's heart with his confident and outgoing personality. Being the youngest in the family, he held a special place in her heart that could never be replaced. The funeral was also attended by Saleh's schoolmates and teachers from Orchard Primary School, where he was a beloved student.

The headteacher, Jonny Spector, paid tribute to Saleh, saying he was a kind and delightful child who was loved by everyone at the school. The whole community was in shock and mourning over the loss of such a young and promising life.

Sadly, this was not the first incident involving a child pretending to be Spider-Man. In 2017, another 5-year-old boy jumped from a 40ft-high window while imitating the superhero but miraculously survived. Saleh's father, in an interview with the BBC, warned parents about the dangers of their children not understanding the difference between reality and fantasy.

He emphasized that while characters like Superman and Spider-Man may be fun and entertaining for children, they must be taught that they are not real and should not be imitated. Saleh's father believes that this lack of understanding was what led to his son's tragic accident and ultimately, his death.

The police have confirmed that Saleh's death was not suspicious, and they are preparing a file for the coroner. The community is still in shock and mourning over the loss of such a young and innocent life. Saleh's parents hope that their tragic loss can serve as a reminder to other parents to educate their children about the difference between fantasy and reality.
