The Gazette would like to clarify that fundraising following the death of a child in Colchester will be used to pay for funeral costs.
The leftover funds will be used to purchase a cuddle/cold cot, which will be donated to Colchester Hospital in memory of Ralphie-Jayce Payne.
In a previous piece, a quote said the cot would be used by the family, but this is not the case.
We would like to apologise for any distress caused by the original article.
