A little girl is dead tonight because of an accidental hanging when the belt of her housecoat became entangled with her bunk bed. The mother of Laval, Que. attempted CPR but it was too late.

The child had been watching a movie in her room late Sunday afternoon when the incident occurred. Her mother had been checking on her every 30 minutes or so.

When she opened the door to check on her daughter the last time the mother found her tied up in her clothes. She was declared dead on arrival at hospital.

“It’s an accident. No one is being blamed for that,” Laval police spokesperson Nathalie Laurin told CTV Montreal.

Loose belts and strings are always a danger for youngsters. If at all possible eliminate them from your children’s clothes.
