The statement from his family reads: “Keigan was a beautiful, happy, funny, cheeky, mischievous little boy.

"He was only with us for two short years but in this time he brought happiness to his family and friends who loved him very much.

"Today we will celebrate his short life and the joy that he brought to his Dad, Siblings, Grandparents, Aunty and Uncle and not to focus on the circumstances that have led to his death.

“He loved Paw patrol and he loved to dance to the song Dance Monkey by Tones and I and Memories by Maroon 5.
