Boy dies after TV falls on him

A Salt Lake County toddler who had a TV fall on top of him has died.

The 20-month-old boy, whose name was not released Tuesday, was injured Sunday morning at his parents' home, near 200 East and 4100 South, said Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson.

The accident happened in the living room of the house. The boy's parents were in their bedroom when they heard a crash, Hutson said. A 27-inch tube TV, which had been on top of a sort of wire stand, somehow fell off onto the toddler, Hutson said.

Three siblings were also in the house at the time of the accident, he said. What happened prior to the accident and why the TV fell off the stand were still under investigation Tuesday, Hutson said.
