A FOUR-YEAR-OLD boy killed by a falling mirror in Bicester Village was “a bright and vibrant boy who injected life into everything he touched”, his family said.

The youngster, who died after suffering a head injury at the Hugo Boss store, was yesterday named as Austen Harrison.

It comes as health and safety officers were yesterday checking shop fittings in other stores at the outlet centre.

Austen’s parents said in a statement they wanted to celebrate their boy’s life as they came to terms with his death.

They said: “Austen was a bright and vibrant boy who injected life into everything he touched.

“His energy and creativity will be missed every day by all who met him and by those who did not have the privilege to meet him.”

They also said they plan to set up a charity in his name to improve the lives of other children.

Lawyers acting on behalf of his family yesterday declined to comment when asked if his parents planned to take legal action against the outlet village or the store.

Austen, who was from Crawley, West Sussex, was injured on the evening of Tuesday, June 4.

An off-duty doctor treated him at the scene and ambulance staff initially did not think his injuries were life-threatening.

But he died at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital on Saturday, June 8. An inquest into his death is due to open today at Oxfordshire Coroner’s Court.

Last night Thames Valley Police was still investigating the child’s death.

Fashion giant Hugo Boss closed its store for several days while a healthy and safety investigation was carried out. It also cancelled an event in London last Monday out of respect for the boy’s family.

The store reopened on Saturday but the fashion firm yesterday declined to comment further on the investigation.

Bicester Village spokeswoman Miranda Markham said: “Our thoughts are very much with Austen’s family at this time.”

But she would not comment further as the investigation into what happened was still ongoing.

Cherwell District Council sent health and safety officers to help the police investigation.

Spokeswoman Jemma Callow said: “We are checking the fittings in other stores and outlets in Bicester Village.”

Austen’s family is being represented by Jocelyn Cockburn, partner at London law firm Hodge Jones and Allen.
