Four-year-old Isaac has tragically passed away following Sunday’s horrific shed fire in Corio, which killed two of his siblings.
Isaac was flown to the Royal Children’s Hospital along with his six-year-old sister Mavis following the incident on Officer Court.
Three-year-old Saige and 18-month-old Ashlynn died at the scene on Sunday morning.
Isaac underwent emergency surgery but sadly died in hospital on Wednesday, while Mavis continues to get treatment on severe burns.
The children’s father, Kane McGregor, said the children’s mother found Isaac trying to shelter Ashlynn and Saige from the flames.
“Isaac had the other two huddled under him, so that they didn’t burn,” he told media.
“At least they went quick and didn’t suffer.”
Mr McGregor said he was heartbroken.
“Every day they were so growing up, they had so much life, I’m just shattered.”
A GoFundMe page set up to assist the family has raised more than $55-thousand.
“Issac sadly grew his wings and reunited with his baby brother and sister,” an updated message on the website reads.
“He will always be remembered as the heroic young boy who gave his life trying to protect his siblings.
“We thank everyone so much from the bottom of our hearts for all the donations and support.
“This community is absolutely incredible.”
A community vigil will be held this weekend to remember the three children, commencing at 8pm at Rosewell Reserve, Corio.
A post on Facebook invited people who plan to attend are invited to bring flowers, LED/battery operated candles, teddy bears and pink or blue balloons in memory of the children.
