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

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.

also say a  fractured  skull etc wouldnt show  up  right  away and the little  girl was only 2 so probbaly couldnt communicate headache/pain etc

if maddie had had a serious fall she would have had symptoms as pointed out by the doctor in this article. The doctor does not believe the fall caused her death

so posters are now accepting that a fall would not have caused immediate death

no one has said that at all davel no one fully understands how the brain works not even doctors  or  why else    does someone   get brain damage  ina car accident  etc and another person in the  same type of accident doesnt or why do some  brealk their neck and get paralised and others have the same accident and can walk?

This thread is about a seemingly healthy child dying unexpectedly for reasons which are unclear. The pathologists didn't agree as to whether her fall contributed or not.

Can you prove a direct blow to the head can't cause immediate death ?

Meanwhile, a blow to the head can result in death later.

Which has been discussed before.

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.

Hardly "faux indignation" to recognise the heartbreak in a family caused by the loss of a child whatever the circumstances.
