According to KTLA, she was taken to Centinela Hospital Medical Center where she was pronounced dead. Neighbor Del Evano, who told reporters he heard family member crying and ran over to help, spoke on the tragedy saying:

“I saw a gentleman come out crying, with his face pretty much white without blood… It was an accidental hanging… something like that.”

Police do not feel as if foul play was involved, especially since the grieving parents are being extremely cooperative. Despite that, the Abused Child Unit, which must investigate all deaths involving children under the age of 11, is still investigating the matter.

An autopsy, which was scheduled for Friday, has been delayed and will be conducted today.

Our condolences go out to the family of Miriah.
