TV set crushes boy to death
July 8th, 2011 - 8:49 pm ICT by IANSLondon, July 8 (IANS) A two-year-old boy in Britain was crushed to death when a TV set fell on him, a media report said Friday.
Lee Hardy was at his father Christopher’s flat in Basildon, Essex, in July 2009 when the 32-inch set in a bedroom fell on him causing fatal head injuries, Daily Express said.
Christopher was on his computer when he heard a thud and rushed into the bedroom to find his son lying on the floor with the television on top of him.
He carried the boy outside where neighbours helped to give him first aid until paramedics arrived but the boy was pronounced dead at Basildon Hospital a short time later, the Express said.
Recording a verdict of accidental death, Essex coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said: “Police investigating concluded there were no suspicious circumstances. I have come to the view this was the most tragic of accidents. He clearly was a much-loved and bright little boy.”
