Four-year-old girl dies in washing machine

A four-year-old girl in Southern California died after she climbed into a washing machine that began tumbling when her toddler brother hit its simple push-button start.

Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Kayley Ishii apparently climbed into the front-loading washer Monday afternoon.


Her 15-month-old brother either bumped or pushed the button to start the machine.


Amormino said the machine's controls were only 20 inches from the floor and the start switch was a simple push button. The girl was in the water-filled, tumbling machine for at least two minutes before her mother found her.


An autopsy yesterday found Kayley died of blunt force trauma and the death was ruled accidental.
