Girl, 6, killed by falling TV
The girl was crushed to death by a 32-inch TV on Sunday morning in her El Monte, Calif., home.
The child, who was in a room with a sleeping adult, was apparently trying to turn on the TV or get something else off the dresser on which it was perched. She pulled on the television cord, bringing the TV down on top of her, according to the Associated Press.
A detective responding said that there was no evidence of foul play, and called the accident an “unfortunate tragedy.” Unfortunately, it happens all too often, with children in Las Vegas and Naples, Fla., dying from falling TVs in recent months.
