Flatbush Tradgedy
WCBSTV:
Late Wednesday night the carpet the little girl had been laying upon bleeding, was rolled up and taken out of the home. The carpet will be buried with the 4-year-old's body as required by Orthodox Jewish tradition. Just after 6 p.m. Wednesday night........Police said the 4-year-old was crushed by a 27-inch television set. Her father was in the kitchen with the toddler's twin brother when he heard a loud boom.When the father ran into the living room he discovered the little girl bleeding profusely from the head. His 2-year-old daughter was unharmed.Police said the TV-DVD set was sitting on a large wooden board that was placed upon but not connected to a small television cart.Police said somehow the TV tipped over onto the child. She was rushed to Lutheran Hospital, but could not be saved....They look like wonderful parents and it's just a tragedy for the community."The NYPD is conducting an investigation, but they said the family has no record of domestic problems, and the death appears to be accidental.........
