Girl, 12, killed after being crushed playing innocent game | UK | News
The 12 -year -old girl died tragically as a result of breaking a tree branch while playing on the rope swing and stranded for up to two hours under the falling branch.
When the branch collapsed, Brooke Wiggins was spending time with his friends. Judicial Medical Assistant Ivor Collett emphasized the importance of understanding what is going on, and said that it was “a tree that a normal child can look at it and think it’s a tree to play on it”.
The preliminary investigation of Brooke’s death on November 9 last year revealed that Surrey Province is the owner of the tree and that it should maintain the tree. However, what made things even more complex was that the land of Brooke fell to a different local authority and the Sutton district of London. News, the charged phone in the bathroom while holding the electric shock as a result of the mother appeared after the mother.
Emergency services were summoned to Grove Place near the junction of CarsHalton in Banstead, Surrey, which was stranded by Brooke’s falling tree. Releasing him using special equipment lasted between 90 minutes and two hours.
During the pre -investigation at the South London Forensic Medicine Court in Croydon, Mr. Collett announced that the Health and Safety Administration (HSE) carried out an investigation with Surrey District Council with tree experts. Brooke’s mother Claire Etherington and other relatives, Mr. Collett found in court to listen to the following words: “This investigation will actually be related to the role of the Surrey Provincial Assembly in the ownership and care of the tree. Accident and death occurred in the land of London Sutton Municipality.” Mirror.
“The tree was growing in the land, which was owned by the Surrey District Assembly and maintained a few meters away. The control regime and its care fall into the Surrey District Assembly.”
And he added: “There is no claim that Brooke and his friends do something wrong.
“This was a public land. There was a bridge to reach there. This is not like climbing over a fence to reach the forbidden land.”
Brooke’s friends asked for help and Edward and Patrick Delaney brothers came to the scene, but they could not handle the branch themselves.
Brooke was subjected to fatal crushing injuries and passed away.
Mr. Collett announced that the camera images of the police will be too uncomfortable to be shown in court.
“It is very sad to think that a 12 -year -old child is in this situation.” “This is the most terrible thing that any family can endure.
The examination of the tree suggested that the tree would be ‘one -piece’, which includes the removal of all branches.
