Boy, 4, Stable in ICU After Surviving 10th-Floor Fall in Ribeirão Preto

Overview

• Brenno Fernandes Girdziauckas remains in intensive care at Hospital das Clínicas after surgery, with a stable condition and no discharge date announced.
• São Paulo’s public security authority says the case was recorded as an accidental fall, and police requested examinations from the Criminalistics Institute and the Medical Legal Institute.
• According to the mother’s statement to police, the non-verbal autistic child reached an unprotected bathroom window by climbing via the sink before the fall.
• Preliminary police findings indicate the descent was partially cushioned by a glass structure and a railing, and the child was found conscious in the building’s common area.
• The family’s apartment is one block from the hospital, enabling rapid care; a blood-drive effort yielded about 120 bags according to the father, and transfusions are no longer required.
