Rozayah Dallas Hudson, 6, died in a farm accident in Opotiki on September 17.
The mother of a six-year-old boy killed on a dairy farm in the Bay of Plenty says the family is “traumatized” by his death.
Rozayah Dallas Hudson died on a farm in Ōpōtiki Thursday night.
Police have yet to say what caused Hudson’s death, but they have said he was on the farm, rather than working.
Hudson’s mother, Angel Topp, said her son had a “heart of gold.”

“[He] he was so full of emotion and everyone around him would feel it. He had a strong, humble, loving, loyal, and helpful nature.
“I was too young, it was my first love and losing my baby has opened a great deep wound, my heart has been torn out. I needed my son more than he needed me. “
Hudson’s death had “traumatized” the family, Topp said.
“But I know my son would want us to be at peace.”
A WorkSafe spokeswoman confirmed that she was investigating the incident.
He said he was notified of a death on a dairy farm and understood that the person who died was a child.
This is the third death on a New Zealand farm in the past week, following two tractor deaths, one in Te Kuiti and the other in Hastings.
Hudson’s death has been referred to the coroner.
