Police in Woodstock have deemed the case of a boy falling 15 feet off a balcony window late last month, requiring transport to London’s Children’s Hospital for treatment, to have been accidental.

According to a news release from the Woodstock Police Service, on Nov. 28, 2025 emergency services responded to a call after a six-year-old boy fell from a height of 15 feet from a balcony window at a residence in Woodstock.

Police say the child was initially transported to Woodstock Hospital and then later transferred to Children’s Hospital in London for specialized care.

Police confirmed on Thursday the boy is now in stable condition. However, he continues to be treated for serious injuries.

Woodstock police conducted a thorough investigation in collaboration with the Children’s Aid Society and determined there were no signs of foul play, adding, “the incident has been determined to be accidental.”

Upon medical discharge, the child will return home.

“We thank Oxford County Paramedic Services, hospital staff and partnering agencies for their quick and coordinated response,” the release reads.
