Limburgerhof (Rhineland-Palatinate) – The tragic death of a girl (4) on the playground of a daycare center in Limburgerhof – now it is clear: the child strangled herself with a so-called stilt while playing on the slide at the daycare center and died!
According to preliminary autopsy results, a “central regulatory failure in strangulation was the cause of death”! This means nothing other than a failure in all important functions of the body.

A resident told BILD: “The girl would never have been allowed to play in the nursery's spacious playground without supervision. The behavior of those responsible is inexcusable and incomprehensible.”
One thing is certain: the outdoor area for children up to ten years old (130 daycare centers and 40 extracurricular activities) is confusing. There are lots of climbing opportunities there – including the slide where the tragedy occurred last Thursday at around 2pm.

A worried mother: “I knew the girl, she was from the owl group and was a very sweet child. In any case, I will no longer send my son to this daycare with a clear conscience until the case is resolved. Something like this should never happen again.”
