Clapton wrote this about his 4-year-old son Conor, who died when he fell out of a 53rd floor window in the apartment where his mother was staying in New York City. Clapton had one other child at the time: His daughter Ruth was born in 1987, the year after Conor was born. He fell from a picture window apparently left open by a housekeeper who had just washed it. Police said the Health Department was investigating why the luxury duplex on the 52nd and 53rd floors at 117 E. 57th St. had no window guards, as required by law. The boy, Conor Clapton, wandered into a bedroom on the second floor of the duplex at 11:10 a.m. and leaned over the ledge of a hinged 4-foot by 6-foot window that was opened inward, like a door, about 18 inches from the floor, police said. He fell to the roof of the five-story New York Geneological and Biographical Society, which faces on 58th Street. The boy's mother, Italian actress Lori del Santo, 32, the housekeeper and the maid were in other rooms of the 4,000-square-foot apartment, police said. Eric Clapton, who is separated from Conor's mother and who lives in Britain, was staying in a New York hotel and rushed to the scene when a friend told him the news, police said. He and del Santo were treated for shock at Lenox Hill Hospital and released.
