Little Girl Killed By Toy Box

CHANDLER, Arizona – A 3-year-old girl has died after the lid to her toy box fell closed, hitting her in the head. Officials say the girl was reaching inside the toy box for a toy when the lid closed hitting her head “‘on the wrong spot” and sending her into cardiac arrest. Paramedics arrived on the scene and tried to resuscitate the girl, but were not able to. “I’ve been a paramedic for almost 30 years and I’ve seen this event just three times with a toy box. I can’t stress enough that this is just a tragic, tragic accident,” said Chandler Fire Battalion Chief Paul Nies. You know, I am aware that the top of the skull on young kid’s are not fully…cooked…or whatever. But I’ve honestly never thought of this kind of thing happening.

Trick-Or-Treater Killed Halloween Night When Rotted Tree Falls On Him

PELHAM, New Hampshire – No crime here, just a tragedy. 10-year-old Christian Gualtieri was killed while out trick-or-treating with his dad and friends on SaturdaySaturday reviews night. He had just left a residence and was heading towards another house when the freak accident occurred.

The wind was going pretty well and it appears the wind knocked down a rotted tree and just went down on the boy,” Pelham police Lt. Gary Fisher said. Christian went into cardiac arrest and was taken to Saints Memorial Medical Center in Lowell, Mass., where he died a short time later. The video report states the fourth-grader did not regain consciousness after being struck – so if there is any good to come out of such a tragic story, it is that he did not suffer. As for the surviving friends and family, I’m sure that will not be the case.  [Read more...]
