Shoreline child dies after falling from 5th floor window

On Sunday, October 13, 2024 at approximately 5pm Shoreline Fire was dispatched to the 1100 block of N 192nd St.
 
The report was for a 4 year old girl who fell out of a fifth floor window and landed on a second floor overhang.
 
CPR was being done by a bystander upon our arrival. Our medics transported her to Harborview Medical Center and it was there that she passed away. Our hearts are shattered for her family.

Everyone that has a window and a child is at risk.

    As a neighbor living in the complex my heart is shattered for the family and those present, particularly the children who witnessed the event. It was a large joyous birthday party, apparently. I’m heartbroken.

    This is heartbreaking, obviously especially for the family, and also for the person or people who administered first aid, and for the first responders. What an unimaginable tragedy :(. I’m so incredibly sorry to read that this happened. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
