A two-year-old boy died after reportedly being strangled by his jacket as he played at his nursery.
Leanardo Ricci had been outside in the yard at Ambarabà Ciccì Coccò nursery in Bibbiena, near Arezzo, central Italy, when the tragedy happened.
He had been running or trying to climb when the drawstring of his jacket apparently got caught on a tree branch and strangled him, according to Italian news site La Stampa. .
Moments later he was found not breathing by nursery staff and emergency services were called.
Medics tried to resuscitate the boy, but sadly he could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police evacuated the nursery and cordons were put up. It will remain closed until at least next week while the incident, which happened earlier this week, is under investigation.
Prosecutors have opened a case for involuntary manslaughter
The Koiné cooperative, which manages the nursery, said: ‘We have no words that can soothe the excruciating pain of the parents and family of the child who lost his life this morning.
‘The tragedy is also our grief, because we feel the children who greet us with a smile every morning as our own.
‘Our staff, shocked and distraught by the tragedy, have made themselves available to the investigators.’
