Emergency crews responded to a call from an address in Forest Hill, London on May 18.
The call came in shortly after noon, with medics treating the two-year-old boy at the scene.
However, he sadly passed away shortly after from his injuries.
The boy’s death is being treated as unexpected and his family are now being supported by officers.
The Met Police have released a statement about the incident, which took place on Sunday.
The statement read: “On Sunday at 12.17pm police were called following reports that a child had fallen from height.
“Met officers attended the scene alongside paramedics from the London Ambulance Service who treated a two-year-old boy at the scene before taking him to hospital.
“Sadly, despite the best efforts of the medical staff, he later died in hospital.
“His family are currently being supported by specialist officers. The death is being treated as unexpected and remains under investigation.
“There has been no arrests made. Enquiries into the circumstances are on-going.”
The news comes just weeks after an inquest heard that a British boy passed away after falling off a bed in St Lucia – while on a family holiday.
Tommy Taylor-Mclean, who was just seven months old, was initially thought to have just “injured himself”.
However, he was tragically declared dead on April 2 after a bleed on the brain.
