Elliot English died at Children's Health Ireland in Crumlin. A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána confirmed to the Irish Mirror: "An Garda Síochána can confirm that 6-year-old Elliot English who sustained critical injuries during a fire at his home in the Birchwood area of Waterford City on Tuesday, 13th October 2026, has passed away on today's date, Friday 6th November 2026, at Children's Health Ireland (CHI) Crumlin, Dublin 12. "The thoughts of all members of An Garda Síochána are with the extended English family at this sad time."On 13th October, Elliot's parents, Kim and Philip English, along with his brothers Callum and Jayden, all died in a suspected arson attack on the family's home in the Birchwood estate in Waterford Elliot and another child were rushed to hospital in the wake of the devastating attack. The second child remains in a critical condition. In a heartfelt tribute, his brother John James English wrote: "RIP baby bro Elliot ... Your in God's arms and bk with our dad Philip and your mam Kim and lil brothers callum. Jayden" (sic), alongside a beaming photograph of Elliot. In total, six individuals have been arrested by Gardaí investigating the attack. Four were released without charge, while the remaining two are currently before the courts. Last month, the funerals of Philip, Kim, Jayden and Callum were held, describing them as the "innocent victims of a web of evil which is the drugs trade". Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan, who led the service at the Sacred Heart Church in Waterford for Philip, Kim, 12-year-old Callum and nine-year-old Jayden, said the tragedy has left everyone profoundly shaken. Bishop Cullinan described it as "heart-wrenching" to witness four coffins positioned before the altar and said those involved in the drugs trade "need to see the consequences of their dark trade". In a poignant address to devastated mourners, he said: "This tragedy has shocked us all to the core. "How heart-wrenching it is to see four coffins before this sacred altar, and this entire community and the whole country joining in loving solidarity with the family and the many friends of Kim and Phil and Callum and Jayden. "Four beautiful innocent lives have been taken. Two loving, devoted parents who did their best for their children. Innocent victims of a web of evil which is the drug trade. "And as a country, I ask, 'have we really faced up to this problem?' It is a fact that in every city, every town and village and townland, harmful drugs are available.
