Dad fined after son, 2, died in Cyprus hotel fall
Joshua Foster will have to pay 3,000 euro (£2,500), a judge in Paphos rules.
A father from Essex, Joshua Foster, has been fined 3,000 euros after his two-year-old son, Joshua, tragically fell to his death from the fourth floor of the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort in Cyprus. The incident occurred on the first day of their holiday in Chlorakas, when Foster placed his son on a windowsill to view a nearby waterpark.
He believed the window was closed, but the boy slipped and plummeted nearly 40 feet (12.1 meters) to his death. Foster admitted to causing death through reckless behavior and was sentenced on Friday morning. As the judge handed down his sentence, Foster held back tears and embraced his lawyer and parents.
