A man was rescued from the rubble
A 12-year-old boy has died after a garage wall collapsed in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
Police were called to the house on St John’s Road in Clacton just before 7pm on Friday 21 October.

According to police, the pair knew each other but their identities have not yet been released. The boy’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
Det Insp James Hardingham, who is leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of those concerned at this sad time.
“We’re continuing our inquiries to establish the facts leading to the wall collapse.”
Essex Fire and Rescue Service sent four crews to the scene to try and free the pair.
