A toddler died after investigators say she was strangled by a gate that had been placed on top of her playpen.

Grand Rapids police say Emily English, who would have turned 2 next month, was found unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.

Kent County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Cohle said an autopsy confirmed Emily became unable to breathe when her head got entangled in the components of a gate that was used to cover the playpen.

The gate has been placed there in an effort to keep the toddler from getting out. It was not designed to be used in that manner.

Police said the death was being treated as an accident, though the case remained open Monday afternoon.

How about child neglect resulting in death.

And two years old?
Why was the kid even in a playpen at that age???

Charge the adults responsible for this. It isn't like the gate put itself there.
This was no accident, it could have been avoided by someone not being a moron.

She must’ve been a great escape artist.
