THE mum of a toddler who plunged to his death in an Edinburgh office block has welcomed a sheriff’s findings over the tragedy.
Louise McCreath, 34, she was “content” that Sheriff Mhairi Stephen had recommended that building laws were tightened up.
Ben McCreath was just 21-months old when he squeezed through a 15cm gap between a safety barrier and a wall, falling almost five metres in the fatal accident.
The tot had been exploring on the first floor of the Princes Exchange in Edinburgh’s Earl Grey Street on February 14, 2006.
His mother Louise – a part-time receptionist at the building – was having a meeting with bosses and had brought Ben along at the time of the tragedy.
