Three adults and a teenager have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect after a six-year-old boy fell from an eight-storey balcony and later died.
The young boy has been named locally as Liam Shackleton.
Police were called to Lindsey Mount block of flats in north-east Leeds at around 5.15pm yesterday following reports a child had fallen.
He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary for treatment but did not survive.
Officers say an investigation is under way into the incident.
Relatives have left tributes to the young boy at the scene
Two men, aged 57 and 36, a woman, 28, and a 16-year-old girl - all believed to be at the house when the young boy fell - have been taken into police custody for questioning.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Three adults have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect. Inquiries are ongoing."
