A verdict of accidental death has been returned in an inquest into the death of a young Tipperary girl.
The 4 year old died when a fireplace fell on her while she was playing in the family’s new home.
The tragedy happened last October – the girl was rushed to University Hospital Limerick but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Today’s inquest into her death heard that the child – who was in foster care – died from a fractured skull and associated bleeding.
Limerick Coroner John McNamara returned a verdict of accidental death in line with the medical evidence.
