Toddler, two, died at home after accidentally becoming trapped in her grandparent's reclining chair, inquest finds

A two-year-old died at home by being 'trapped or pinned' in a reclining armchair in a tragic accident, a coroner ruled.

Emaan Raza was found unresponsive at her grandparent's home address in Oxford at around noon on May 19.

The toddler had been discovered unresponsive behind an electrically adjusted reclining armchair, which was against a wall in the sitting room.

She was then rushed in an ambulance to John Radcliffe Hospital in the Headington area of the city where she was tragically pronounced dead at about 2pm.

An inquest held at Oxford Coroner's Court on June 19 heard that her medical cause of death was provided as 'features in keeping with crush asphyxia'.

Senior coroner Darren Salter ruled her death as an accident.

He told the inquest that the baby's injuries were 'non-specific' but caused by being 'trapped or pinned' in an enclosed space.

Mr Slater said: 'It is unclear if the injuries were caused when she was within or under the mechanism of the chair or between the chair and the wall.'
