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

[mercury]

There are many "accidents" that can occur in the home which can kill children instantly, or within  a very short period of time, to argue aganst this is ridiculous as it is all documented

The fact remains theres a "window of opportunity" for a child in this cases situation to have suffered something that caused death, and that window could have started at any time since they were last seen by an independant  party to when the alarm was raised...that is many many hours...

They do, it depends on what "accident".... If a child swallowed bleach ir drugs or fell down stone steps or choked on blind cords etc etc could well end up dead, not sure what his problem is....hundreds and thousands of toddlers die every year all over the world at home..but it is said it is impossible MM died due to an accident whilst home alone we are told

Mr Amaral's theory did not involve Madeleine swallowing bleach ~ it did not involve her swallowing drugs ~ it did not involve blind cords ~ it didn't suggest anything about stone steps..  His theory is very specific on how he believes Madeleine met her end.

Many people on both sides of the so called debate accept she is probably dead, including the parents, until the case is solved and they find a body....

She will be immortal in her parents hearts and memories, whatever happened

1) he suggested a possibility
2) this thread is not about mr amarals theory

Ps forgot to say yes, mr amaral had suggested that it was a possiblity Madeleine fell over the balcony
You see? His theory of death was not set in stone

do you read any of the posts..CHILDREN DO DIE IN ACCIDENTS but not immediately from subdural haematoma

[Mr Gray]

For those who still don't understand....a fall in a house where a child bangs their head results in a subdural haematoma. This can be fatal but death is never immediate and occurs hours or some times days later. Therefore the idea that Maddie fell and died whilst the mccanns were at the tapas is impossible

Of course it is possible.

They weren't in the Tapas Bar on just one night, WERE THEY.

An accident could have occurred quite easily on one of the other nights.

So are you saying that Madeleine was not seen on the 3rd of May?

Did anyone say they did? Other injuries must be a possibility.

Personally, I don't see why.  Why is it impossible for Madeleine to bang her head at 8:30 when the parents left and not die before 10pm?  Improbable, yes.  Impossible, no.

The banged head theory could involve a bang at a previous time.  Any time after Madeleine reached 5A but before the parents went out, and there is plenty of time.

If the bang happened earlier, and was either not seen or not recorded, there is also plenty of time.  Madeleine was pale, washed out, tired at high tea.

To rule out a head bang you need to be able to prove that no such head bang occurred, a task that is impossible.  Just as, in absence of evidence stronger than 'Madeleine was tired', you cannot conclude it was a head bang.

There is no evidence that any of the McCann children suffered a head injury.  All were exceptionally tired.

There is no explanation, hypothetical or otherwise why loving parents would dispose of their daughter's remains as if she was so much trash?

Very few have not heard of, if not experienced friends or family suffering the anguish of sudden infant death.

How do you know they were 'exceptionally tired' ?

Don't forget self preservation either.
