The boy, identified by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office as Kiere DeAndre Jaden Daniels, Jr., was staying at a Hampton Inn in Birmingham with his family, who was visiting from Michigan, WBRC reported.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of this young child and offer our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones at this difficult time,” a spokesperson for Hilton, the chain’s corporate office, told McClatchy News in a July 15 email.
