A 3‑year‑old girl died after becoming trapped in a toy kitchen play set at a babysitter’s home in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Police responded to a call shortly after 11 a.m. on July 23 reporting a child who was not breathing. Officers began life‑saving measures on site before Boynton Beach Fire Rescue transported the toddler to a nearby hospital, where she remained in critical condition until her death on July 27.
According to investigators, the child and her sibling were under the care of the babysitter’s spouse while the babysitter was away. The children were playing downstairs, and the supervising adult periodically checked on them from upstairs, providing snacks and supervision.
During one of these checks, the adult discovered the toddler with her head lodged inside the toy kitchen. The adult freed the child and performed emergency CPR until first responders arrived.
Police reports indicate the sibling told investigators that several toys had fallen inside the play kitchen, and the toddler became trapped while attempting to retrieve them.
The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities reviewing the circumstances surrounding the incident. No criminal charges have been announced at this time.
