A Florida family is mourning the loss of their 3-year-old daughter, Briella, who died after becoming trapped in a toy kitchen play set at a babysitter’s home in Boynton Beach.
Incident Details
According to Boynton Beach police, Briella and her sibling were at the babysitter’s home when the incident occurred. The babysitter had left the residence, leaving the children in the care of her spouse. While the children played downstairs, the spouse remained upstairs, periodically checking on them and bringing them snacks.
During one of these checks, the spouse found Briella with her head stuck inside the toy kitchen. The spouse freed the child and immediately began performing life-saving measures until first responders arrived.
Police said Briella’s sibling told investigators that some of the children’s toys had fallen inside the play kitchen, and Briella apparently became trapped while trying to retrieve them.
Investigation and Response
Authorities have not announced any criminal charges, and the investigation remains ongoing. A GoFundMe page has been created to help the family cover funeral and memorial expenses.
The family remembered Briella as a bright and kind child who touched the lives of many. Donations will help the family navigate their devastating loss.
