Tragic Endings

Yet, another pit bull attack leaves a toddler dead. Mauled by the pit bull, the dog apparently grabbed the toddler’s throat and killed him.

The dog was said to be aggressive towards people in general and was later shot by a police deputy.

APPLE VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a 3-year-old boy has died after his family’s pit bull attacked him at a home in Southern California

The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department said in a statement Sunday that 3-year-old Omar Martinez was declared dead at Saint Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley.

An 18 month old toddler somehow got his head trapped in a recliner, resulting in a tragic and freak accidental death.

Wayne County Sheriff Jim Hinkle said Hunter’s parents were leaving for work as the baby sitter arrived and believed the child was asleep in the recliner.

The baby sitter then went to check on the child and found his head somehow had become trapped in the recliner. Attempts to revive the child were unsuccessful, Hinkle said.

The son of the mother and father who were allegedly beaten to death, along with 6 of his cousins ranging in ages from children to adults, tapes were released to reveal some haunting details:

Heize screams, ” My whole family is dead,” in a frantic 9-1-1 call to police. The recording was release Monday. Heinze is weeping and say he found the victims when he came home Saturday morning and that it looks like they were beaten to death.

Heinze said, among the dead are his father, uncle, and cousins. He pleads with 9-1-1 operators to send help for a survivor who was still breathing but whose face was “smashed in.”

Four young children, ranging in ages between 1 - 7 years old are all dead when a Dodge Neon that was being chased by LA police rammed into the victims druck when they blew a stop sign.

The three men driving the stolen care which was in pursuit at the time, are also dead.

One child in the innocent bystanders car, age 8, has survived but is in critical condition*. All the children were reportedly unrestrained and not wearing their seatbelts.

UPDATE: *5th child, age 8 died as of Monday, August 10th - morning.

Martinez said the Neon was reportedly a stolen vehicle but that investigators were unsure whether the three men were responsible for the theft.

The four children in the pickup truck – a 3-year-old boy and three girls, ages 1, 4 and 7 – died at the scene, said CHP Officer Kirk Arnold. The victims’ identities were not immediately available.

A four month old infant, Natalie Hill, was found dead in her crib, covered in rat bites. Police say they don’t know whether or not the baby died before the rats got to her or because of the rats, which would make sense — I mean, wouldn’t the parents hear the poor baby if she was being eaten alive by rats??

Disgusting!

WESTWEGO, La. — The father of the 3-month-old girl who was found dead Thursday, covered in rat bites, said in a radio interview that he knew his house had a rat problem, but he never expected his daughter would be attacked.

A 31 year old woman is being charged for driving a van at a camp site while under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license after she “accidentally” hit the gas and ran over a camp tent killing an infant and seriously injuring his mother.

The driver deserves to have her guilt eat her alive.

Doug Pomplum says, “It’s a senseless thing that happened, there’s no reason for this person to be driving that van at the time.”Authorities say 31 - year - old Nicole Prechel hit the gas instead of the brake while attempting to back a van into a parking area at the Beaver Falls Campground near Morton…A mistake that killed four - month - old Wyatt Sander and wounded his mother 21 - year - old Sheena Hinshaw while they lay resting in their tent.

A 2-year-old girl in Florida was killed after the Burmese Python her family kept as a pet got hold of the child and bit and strangled her.

The dangers of owning an exotic pet became all too real for one mother today as her boyfriend’s pet snake kills her baby girl. Sumter County Sheriff’s authorities confirm that a 8 1/2 foot-long Burmese python snake killed the mother’s 2-year-old girl after the snake escaped from its container and attacked the baby in her room.

Two-year-old baby Shaiunna Hare was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning after Sumter County Sherriff’s Office received an emergency call that a snake killed a baby.

The owner of the Burmese python snake is Charles Jason Darnell. Darnell, 32, who lives in the home with the baby’s mother, Jaren Hare, 19, reportedly told investigators that he put the python in a bag before putting it into a glass cage Tuesday night.

Utter heartbreak. A 7 year old was accidentlly buried alive when his father was bulldozing and was unaware the boy was playing on the dirt mound where he was preparing to build a home. The boy died.

The father could not see the boys over the bulldozer’s blade, which was about 4 feet high, and moved a load of dirt that initially covered all three boys.

The two older boys were able to dig themselves out and alert the father that the 7-year-old was still buried, the relative said.

The Caylee Anthony autopsy report has finally been released to the public in spite of the Anthony Grandparents, George and Cindy, trying to block it’s release. Although more “dissection” of the report will likely come out, preliminary overviews by the media show that the body was almost completely skeletonized. No drugs were found in little Caylee’s system according to the report and a cause of death was not determined. Duct tape was reported to be placed over the child’s mouth however:

There were also several overlapping pieces of duct tape on the toddler’s skull, according to the report, penned by Orange County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia and others.

“Although there is no trauma evident on the skeleton, there is duct tape over the lower facial region still attached to head hair,” the autopsy says. “This duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition keeping the mandible in place.”

What a tragedy. An 8 year old boy got his head stuck in a an old, manual church elevator and died of asphyxiation. The churches pastor found his dead body. Very sad.

A town is filled with grief Monday after a freak accident this weekend kills a western Kentucky boy. Eight-year-old Zachary Waddell suffocated to death when he got caught on a church elevator. Zachary was at his grandma’s wedding at the First Christian Church in Sturgis Saturday.

Two boys, ages 11 and 9, were wrestling over a gun after an argument broke out over a video game and who won. The 9 year old was shot in the chest and died.

The gun was apparently too heavy for the 11 year old to hold to his brother’s chest, so it’s being ruled an accident.

An 11-year-old boy has accidentally killed his nine-year-old brother with a shotgun after an argument about a computer game.

Darius Finley was shot once in the chest after the pair struggled with the weapon at their home in Marshall County, northern Mississippi.

In a tragedy of monumental proportions — an unknown cause is still being investigated in a northern Mexican daycare where a fire has already killed up to 38 children. Children are being flown to California for medical care.

…but why can’t Mexico treat them? What’s up with that? Is our universal healthcare set to cover Mexico as well?

The cause of Friday’s blaze remained unknown, but investigators concluded that the fire did not start inside the ABC Day Care, Eduardo Bours, the governor of Sonora state said.

As of Saturday night, 23 children remained hospitalized, 15 of them in critical condition, Sonora spokesman Daniel Duran told CNN. Another 10 children had been transported to other hospitals: eight to Guadalajara, one to Ciudad Obregon, and one to Sacramento, California.

What a sad, freak accident…a 12 year old boy is stuck and killed by lightening playing baseball during a storm.

At Lee Hill Park, where a little league baseball game was going on, the umpire called off the game around 6:30 Wednesday night and ordered everyone off the fields and into their cars.

Then lightning struck, hitting two boys. One of them, 12-year old Chelal Gross-Matos, died. His 11-year old friend barely survived.

A father took his two young children, ages 7 and 6 on a “hiking trip” and shot them by rapid fire, killing both and then turning the gun on himself because he was sad.

Our country REALLY needs to stop coddling these jerk parents who are “depressed”. This excuse needs to stop. These child murderers are nothing more than selfish people that want to take the helpless who cannot protect themselves along with them because they see it as unfair that their own personal lives suck, so they want to make sure everyone else is miserable too.

What a coward. What a weak, small, ugly human being. Rot in hell James Gumm.

HILLSBORO, Ore. — A 45-year-old father found dead with his two children along a hiking trail is believed to have shot them before killing himself, police said.

The body of James Gumm, 45, of Hillsboro was found at a nature preserve Friday along with that of 7-year-old Tyler Gumm and 6-year-old Kylie Gumm.

Such a tragedy. We’ve heard too many times about fathers who have thrown their own children over bridges to their horrible, painful death, this time — the mother is the perpetrator. While her 4 year old drowned, her 7 year old survived and of course the mother saved herself. She threatened to jump over, but surprise, surprise, she saved herself. What a shock!

A SEVEN-year-old girl who survived a 23m bridge fall is improving in hospital.

Her four-year-old brother drowned after their mother allegedly threw both off the bridge into the Willamette River near Portland in Oregon.

Amanda Jo Stott-Smith, 31, charged with murder and attempted murder, had a history of domestic violence, police said yesterday.
