Toddler Dies After Falling off Changing Table at NYC Home

New York City police say a 2-year-old girl has fallen off a changing table at her home and died after striking her head on the floor.

The NYPD tells the Staten Island Advance that Lilly Jurgens was unconscious and unresponsive when rescuers arrived at around 9 a.m. Monday.

Police say Lilly's mother was changing her when Lilly accidentally fell.

The FDNY says emergency responders found the girl in cardiac and respiratory arrest.

She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

"We are deeply troubled by this tragic incident and are working with the NYPD to investigate the circumstances," the NYC Administration for Children's Services said in a statement Monday.
