A 10-month-old girl dies after falling from a balcony

A 10-month-old Bangkok girl fell to her death from a balcony on Thursday after her mother left her alone in the bedroom.
Praewa Rinchalee was admitted to Kasemrat Hospital around noon on Wednesday with a cracked skull and bleeding in the brain. She died yesterday. Ratchadaporn, 33, left her baby sleeping alone on the fourth floor of their home in Ramkhamhaeng while she went downstairs. The door to the balcony was still open. Ratchadaporn said she heard her baby scream so she ran upstairs and found the girl was not in bed. She rushed out to the balcony where she looked down to the ground and saw her baby lying motionless. She said her daughter might have crept out on the balcony to look for her after she woke up and then slipped through the bars. Police plan to summon the mother for questioning after the baby's funeral. The Nation
