Police and paramedics attended about 8km south of the Wedge Island access road, some 150km north of Perth, on Monday morning after being told the boy was not breathing. They found the child and man dead, and a woman at the scene needing urgent medical help. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services helped to safely remove the camping equipment, which is believed to have been powered by gas. “It’s just very tragic,” the police minister, Michelle Roberts, told reporters.
