4-Year-Old Jewish Girl Dies After TV DVD Player Falls on Her
A 4-year-old Brooklyn girl was killed last night after a television set fell on her, the police said. It was the second such accident in Brooklyn this month.
The girl, identified by neighbors as Debbie Lerner, was home with her father and two young brothers in their home on Avenue M, near East Seventh Street, in Midwood. Just before 6:30 p.m., the girl's father was in the kitchen with her twin brother and a 2-year-old brother when he heard a bang, the police said. The father ran into the living room and saw the fallen television and his daughter bleeding from the head, she said.
A neighbor, Naama Jakobov, said, "The father was hysterical when he came running out to put the girl in the ambulance. His entire shirt was soaked with blood and her head was bathed in blood."
The father took the girl to Lutheran Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, the police said.
The authorities called the death an apparent accident, and no charges were filed. The television set had a 27-inch screen and a built-in DVD and VCR player. It had been resting on a wooden platform atop a rolling stand.
On April 7, a 3-year-old Brooklyn boy was killed when a large television fell off a stand and crashed on top of him. The authorities said the boy, Alexander Williams of Starrett City, died from head injuries.
Alexander may have been using a small chair to climb up and insert a videotape into a VCR on top of the television when it fell, according to news reports.
