Two-year-old girl killed after 80lb chest of drawers fell on top of her
A mum has issued a warning after her two-year-old daughter was killed in an accident involving a chest of drawers toppling onto her. Little Helena Cochrane lost her life in January reaching for a toy on top of a chest of drawers. The furniture was an antique that her family had owned for years, and weighed an estimated 80lbs. It tipped over and fell onto Helena. Mum, Taryn Cochrane, 21, has shared her story in the hopes it will prevent other children from dying – warning parents of the need to fix heavy furniture to the walls. Taryn said: “The way it happened has left me with so much guilt and shame.An antique dresser I’ve had in my home for years with no prior issue or cause of concern fell on her after she used the drawers as steps to get a toy I had put away on the top – resulting in immediate death.المصدر: Mirror | Source: Mirror
