A TODDLER DIED after a tragic accident involving a Roman blind which was given to the young parents as a handmade gift when they moved in to their new house.

Ms O’Sullivan said the paramedics worked to save Leah. However, she was pronounced dead at Cork University Hospital . She said her step mother Jude made the Roman blind as a gift for her and her partner Mike. It was one of the three support strings that the young child got entangled with when she was in her bedroom.

Alice and Jude shopped for material for the blinds and they were joined by the father of the baby Michael Troy when they went to put them up. A drill was required to install them. Assistant State Pathologist, Dr Margaret Bolster, said Leah would have died instantly without any suffering.
