Pictured: Seven year old Antony Perissato de Aguiar
Condolences have flooded in across the county following the sad death of a Laois child.
Seven year old Portlaoise boy Antony Perissato de Aguiar passed away unexpectedly and peacefully at Crumlin Hospital on Wednesday June 4, in the company of his loving parents.
Living in Maryborough Village, Antony's family say they are 'devastated' following the loss of their 'little man'.
"Antony was healthy and full of joy, playing in a bouncy castle on a beautiful day, when he suffered from a sudden heart condition," his family said.
