Toddler dies in window blind cord tragedy

THE 14-month-old daughter of a heavily pregnant woman has died in Ireland’s latest window blind cord hanging tragedy.

Aida Foster lost her life last Saturday yards from her six months pregnant mother in the sitting room of the family home in Piltown, Co Kilkenny.

The toddler is understood to have become entangled in the chain of the window blind cord. Despite frantic efforts to save her, Aida was pronounced dead at Waterford Regional Hospital that afternoon.
