Toddler died hours after slipping on marble floor in her family's apartment

[slartibartfast]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel here I am afraid.

Sincere condolences to Chloe's family.  The circumstances of her death have caused them the most extreme trauma, shame their grief is not respected and has instead been turned into a tawdry debating point which in my opinion bears not the slightest relation to the subject under debate.

Strange how whenever people find example of children dying in what seem trivial circumstances in response to claims by some that children are nearly indestructible in a domestic setting, the faux indignation kicks in.

you don't seem to have understood the article and seen how it is not relevant to the case....I second what Brietta has said......

It seems that some people have decided that only one scenario can be discussed in relation to the McCann case.

wrong again...I have welcomed discussion about how Maddie could have died in an accident as you well know....problem for the sceptics is that there is no real explanation for an accident scenario

Well said Brietta,   I agree.

You astound me with your negativity.  The member posted the article to show that these things occur and to disprove claims made by you and others that they don't.

There is no explanation that is accepted by you, I think you mean? This article shows that a seemingly healthy child can, tragically, die. That fact has been denied consistently by some.

But it took several hours.  That is the point.

I'm well aware a healthy child can die...as Eleanor says...and I have repeatedly said...it takes several hours...

no one has been able to come up with a death that fits in the timeline

It is only relevant if you can describe a theory in which Madeleine fell over and bashed her head, dying several hours later and make it fit the known facts.  Can you?

There is

However, you won't accept it and we know why.

Then you support an abduction which has no evidence that could not be explained by the other logical possibilities.

Well said Brietta,   I agree.

Hypocrisy or what.

mccann supporters like to draw parallels with other cases.

That depends on whether a fall is required. In the article posted there seems to be some disagreement between the pathologists as to whether the child's death was related to her fall or not. If a fall is required it could have been one which raised no alarms, just as the child's fall in the article raised no alarms. Such a fall could have taken place at any time.

i feel very badly  for this little girls family but again this  proves children should never be left alone ever this little girl  wasnt  but  this same thing could have been  what did happen to maddie and no one  was there to render first aid

Only cases which involve abduction, however.
