Falling statue kills 5-year-old Otago boy in Bali

A Clyde, Central Otago, family are in mourning after their 5-year-old son was killed when an ornamental statue fell on him at a Bali hotel on Friday.

Jack Hogg was on holiday with parents Karen and Don Hogg at Segara Village hotel in Sanur, 20 minutes from Kuta.

Moments before the tragedy, Jack had been playing hide and seek with his dad. Mrs Hogg said he had just begun to climb the 1.4m stone statue when it fell on him.
