The mother told the Police that she heard a noise and, upon not finding her son in the bathroom, ran to the ground floor of the building, where she found him in the common area. Preliminary investigations suggest that the impact may have been cushioned by hitting a glass window and a railing during the fall. The proximity of the house to a children's hospital allowed for its rapid attention and transfer. The family requested blood donations, receiving a significant solidarity response. Although his condition is stable, Brenno still needs specialized care. The authorities continue to investigate the exact circumstances of the accident.
