I'm not saying that couldn't have happend but if it did it seems like an extremely freak accident. I keep trying to imagine how that could happen. Even if the rope did get caught in the closet how did it get wrapped around her neck? Couldn't she have just let go of it?
I totally agree with you. I was just relaying what I read on my commute in this morning. It seems a bit farfetched to me.
Unbelievable... possible maybe, but so unlikely, I am just not buying it.
Doesn't sound like there was an adult in charge. I think 13 yr old children can babysit but it would be hard with that many children to watch. It's weird that Mom and Grandma can't get their stories right though. :waitasec:
I'm sure police are looking at how the rope was around her neck etc. I have a hard time believing "accident", but then there was that case where the boy got a rope or cape stuck on a ceiling fan because he was playing a superhero....

I'm going to withhold my opinion on whether or not this was an accident, but do any of y'all recall a 6-year old girl accidentally hanging herself from a hammock within the last year or so? IIRC, she loved to tie loops and knots and lassos and play games with ropes and she accidentally strangled herself.
Lots of people were suspect that she was murdered but it did turn out to be a sad, bizarre accident.

You brought back memories of my own child... playing at a friend's house on a top bunk of a bed when the ceiling fan was turned on. My daughter ( 5 at the time) stood up and WONK! The blade of fan hit her in the forehead. 8 stitches later, she was fine, but still.. freaky things DO happen.
I pray it was an accident.

As sad as it is, at least she was not killed at that hands of another. Kids can and do get into truly bizarrre accidents. Peace and prayers to her family.
If I remember correctly, one of the medics said they wondered if she had been raped, but after examination it was clear she hadn't been.

Poor little girl...I feel so sorry for her family.

Unless she was found naked, I can't imagine why they initially "believed she was raped", as the article said. I think that people's minds jump to the most lurid conclusion possible sometimes. I have to admit that I often do the same thing, but police should be basing such assumptions on some kind of evidence.
I thought maybe she might not have had any underwear on.
I'm so glad to hear at least she didn't endure that torture.
