The parents of the two-year-old boy, reportedly named Bodhi Naaf, are “grappling with unimaginable grief” following the tragedy near Casa Grande, Arizona in the US.

A statement from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office read: “Several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it airborne into the neighbouring lot.

“A two-year-old child was transported to the hospital where he passed away.”

Local reports said a second child was taken to hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

A GoFundMe campaign launched for Bodhi’s parents Karl and Cristy, who are expecting a child in late May, described them as “grappling with unimaginable grief”.
