Police have released the name of a 7-year-old boy who died after a single-vehicle crash in Otago.
He was Oziah Prasad, of Fairfield, Dunedin.
A family friend paid tribute to Prasad on Givealittle, describing him as “a bright, loving, and adventurous little boy who filled every room with joy.”
The friend said, “He loved exploring the outdoors, making memories with his family, and sharing his beautiful smile with everyone around him. His presence brought so much love and warmth, and his loss has left an unimaginable void.”
The Giveaittle said ACC will be providing financial support for Prasad’s funeral costs, so the donations will go towards a headstone and general financial aid for anything the family needs while they grieve.
