4 years old boy died from massive head injuries at Hugo Boss store after their mirror fell

A four-year-old boy died from ‘devastating’ head injuries when an unstable shop mirror fell on him, an inquest heard today. Austen Harrison was playing with a heavy fitting-room mirror while his father tried on a suit at a Hugo Boss shop when it toppled over and crushed him.

He underwent an emergency operation to relieve pressure on his brain following the incident in Oxfordshire, but died four days later in hospital after life-support was switched off.

It was learnt that the huge mirror wasn't fixed to the wall. Austen was with his parents, Simon and Irina Harrison, when the incident happened at the Bicester outlet village at around 8.30pm on June 4, 2013.

As Simom tried on various suits Austen came in to the changing area and began looking at himself in a large mirror and playing with its large winged sections, attached to the main mirror with hinges.

He said he moved the mirror's wings himself as he looked at a suit, moving them out to an angle of about 45 degrees.

He said: ‘I didn't have any concerns because I assumed they would be fixed to the wall. I couldn't think of any reason why such a large mirror wouldn't be fixed to the wall.’

But as he tried on another suit and walked to his wife to try on a tie, they heard an extremely loud bang, ‘as if something had fallen over’, and someone gasp.
