Funeral services have been set for the 3-year-old boy who died after falling into a grease trap at Tim Hortons on University Avenue in Rochester.
The young boy named Bryce went to work with his mother Monday, and fell into the trap that was located six feet away from the back door. Crews have since secured the trap so that no one else can access it.
A funeral service for the child will take place Tuesday, July 22 at The Lamp Community Church in Rochester. It's located on East Avenue across from Wegmans. It begins at 1 p.m.
The Tim Hortons location where the incident happened has since re-opened.
Autopsy results that will determine the exact cause of death are still pending.
In the meantime, Assemblymembers Harry Bronson and Jamie Romeo have introduced legislation to amend public health law in relation to securing grease traps.
Lawmakers say the bill would require covers to be made of metal and rated for heavy road traffic, secured with a bolt or locking mechanism, a visible sign indicating danger, and annual inspections to ensure compliance.
Bronson and Romeo plan to submit the bill for consideration in the next legislative session.
