The cause of death of a seven-year-old “football-loving” boy has been confirmed as electrocution, police said.
“Delightful” Harvey Tyrell died on September 11 last year after climbing over a wall to retrieve a ball in east London.
The schoolboy died in hospital after the accident in the back garden of the King Harold Pub in Harold Wood, near Romford.
Officers said a “special” post-mortem took place on September 13 for the youngster at St Thomas’ Hospital.
His cause of death has now been confirmed by police as electrocution.
Two people have been interviewed under caution in relation to the investigation into Harvey’s death.
A 70-year-old man was interviewed under caution on September 12 and a 72-year-old man was interviewed under caution on January 11.
A family friend previously told the Standard the Harold Wood primary school pupil was a “bright” young boy.
Shortly after his death, they said: “He was a bright, happy child and his family doted on him. It is so tragic.
"Everyone is still in shock. I feel terrible for the family and his friends. I can’t believe this could happen.”
