PHOENIX, AZ (TS) -- An 11-month-old girl taken to the hospital Monday after a TV fell onto her head has died from her injuries, authorities say. A'ight, we here at AreWeTooSoon? don't really like to repeat ourselves much, but when life repeats itself, our hands are tied.
Her name was Skye Simpson (D'OH!), and the television fell from the top of a dresser onto the infant. The infant's 2-year-old sibling was trying to change the channel at the time of the accident, and may have been responsible for pulling the TV down. My guess is the TV was turned to VH1, and a Nickelback video came on, and the 2 year old, knowing they had gotten a bit old for Nickelback's music, made the right decision with an unfortunate consequence.
From the article:
"They set up the TV, turned it on to entertain the kids," the girl's uncle, John Simpson said. "They turned around one minute, and it happened. Somehow the TV fell over on her. It's a tragic accident that could happen to anybody."
Well, not ANYBODY John, but for sure it could happen at least one other time.
Also from the article:
Phoenix Police Lt. Tina Gonzales said it was an older model TV, possibly between 17-20 inches.
Wow, that's some crack detective work Tina... that Phoenix PD can narrow down the size of a TV that is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM to three inches. Golf clap.
Phoenix rises... just not the home entertainment components.
According to Gonzales, the girl's parents were home at the time of the accident... I would have to think they're ratings dropped as well.
I want my, I want my, I want my ENDTV.
Love,
