An eight-year-old boy has died after a statue fell on him outside the luxury Arizona Biltmore hotel in the US. The boy’s death was announced Monday, five days after he was struck in the head by the statue and hospitalised. He is yet to be identified. Investigators are still trying to determine why the statue came apart and how the boy came to be hit, but they ruled out foul play, the Phoenix Police Department said.

The Biltmore hotel, designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is part of a 39-acre resort spanning the Phoenix Mountain Preserve with views of palm trees and mountain ranges. The statue that collapsed was one of 19 solemn sprites sculptures on the grounds of the resort, KVOA-TV, the NBC affiliate in Tuscon, Arizona, reported. The sprites are said to depict mythological figures representing the natural world.
