An online fundraising page has been set up for the family of tragic Coupar Angus boy Kane Morris.
Police are still guarding the building where the 10-year-old died and tributes continue to pour in for the “happy wee boy”.
They have been working inside and outside the flat in Union Street since they found Kane and an eight-year-old girl in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The girl is fighting for her life in Ninewells Hospital and a 37-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Almost £200 had been raised on the crowdfunding page within five hours of its creation.
It was set up by Perth woman Rachel Linney, who said she did not know Kane but was shocked by his death.
She wrote: “Like most of the Perthshire community I have been moved and shocked by the death of this wee lad.
“I can’t imagine what his family are going through at this terrible time.
“At times like this we can feel so helpless but something we can do is offer some financial help.
