A schoolgirl in the UK accidentally hanged herself with a dressing gown cord while dancing in her bedroom to Lady Gaga.
Megan Williams, 10, from Manchester in north-west England, put the cord around her neck as she danced around the room, the Daily Mail newspaper reports.
The cord, which had been tied in a loop on a bunk bed, tightened and eventually strangled Megan to death as she struggled to escape.
An inquest heard Megan's sister had tied the dressing gown cord to the bunk bed so she could put her leg into the loop and pull herself up.
The girl's mother, Lisa Williams, told the inquest she had heard her daughter dancing through the floorboards from upstairs before the accident.
Megan's 15-year-old brother raised the alarm after discovering his sister's body.
"I remember thinking he (her son) was joking and waiting for him to change then I realised something wasn't right," the Daily Mail quoted Mrs Williams as telling the inquest.
Mrs Williams said she had found her daughter stilled dressed in her school uniform with blue lips and the cord around her neck.
The mother desperately tried to perform CPR on Megan as she waited for paramedics to arrive.
Megan was rushed to hospital in a critical condition but her life support machine was turned off the next day.
yea, no kidding, that is such a horrible thing that’s happen to this family.
Her mom probably wishes things had gone differen’t i’m sure, can’t see everything or hear everything all the time i guess.
Lady Gaga is an abomination
She has a very good voice, but the rest? ...ughhh.
“that is really disgusting for a ten year old to be emulating.....sad.”
yep, but this is why more parent’s need to try and be alittle more involved with what kids are listening to and how they are affected by whats out there.
Here’s the thing, the more lewd the more outragious the more sexually explicit the more money the record labels make. How long will the Lord tarry with a country exporting preversion where it once used to export freedom, liberty, and real hope? Not much longer I imagine ...
That lead singer from INXS accidentally hung himself too.
The Lord preserves us for the Righteous' sake.
While our country has much in the way of vile perversion and shocking filth, it also has much to offer on the other side. There is much good, much heroism, much patriotism, much generosity and much Christ-like love to be found here as well.
Remember that even Sodom and Gomorrah would have been spared for just ten righteous souls.
Yeah, some of the responses on this thread defy reason.
