Horrid, horridm horrid
"Two-year-old twins were killed when a chest of drawers fell on them at their home, police have confirmed.
The children, from Berkshire, were trying to climb on the drawers when the accident happened in Winkfield on Monday afternoon.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said after initial inquiries the deaths were not being treated as suspicious.
It is believed the youngsters had pulled the drawers out of the chest and used them as steps to get to the top.
The police spokesman said: "We commenced an investigation but we are not treating the deaths as suspicious.
"Two two-year-old twins died in the incident."
It was reported in The Sun newspaper that the brother and sister had been put to bed earlier in the afternoon but had woken up and started playing in their bedroom. "
And so easy. DD, same age, pulled over our chest of drawers this summer. It only didn't land on her as my bed was in the way. How the Tv on top missed I still have no idea. This story justs makes me shudder.
