A vigil was held Saturday for 3-year-old Elijah Marsh who died after wandering away from his Toronto home early on Thursday morning.

A few dozen mourners gathered near a makeshift memorial that was set up outside the apartment building where Elijah lived.

Toronto mayor John Tory was among those who were there Saturday.

An online crowd funding campaign was set up to help the family with funeral costs.

While the initial goal was $20,000, they have now raised over $150,000.
