Police rule 3-year-old's death an accident

This is so sad. I don't even like to think about it.

Homicide detectives on Sunday investigated the death of a 3-year-old who was killed after a TV fell on the child.

Investigators went to a home in the 6000 block of Reims in West Houston, but officials said the death was reported as accidental.

In 2006, Memorial Hermann doctors and other health officials said that infant deaths because of tipped TVs had become "a public health issue."

That year, Memorial Hermann Hospital alone treated at least 11 children injured by falling TVs, six of whom died, including a 3-year-old who was crushed after she tried to adjust the TV set.
