GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Green Bay police say the death of a 2-year-old child was accidental.
Police were called to the 600 block for S. Irwin Avenue on July 20 for a report of a child who was found unconscious and not breathing.
Witnesses reported the child was found entangled in a pull cord attached to bedroom blinds.
The Brown County Office of the Medical Examiner has certified the case as an accidental asphyxial death.
Green Bay police are reminding parents and caregivers to take precautions to keep dangling cords from window coverings out of reach from children or invest in cordless window coverings, which can reduce the risk of strangulation or serious injury.
The investigation remains active. No arrests have been made and police say no further details will be released.
