A 7-year-old girl who was on holiday in Germany was killed in a Munich hotel when a stone statue fell on top of her, German police said on Sunday.
Police officials said an investigation into Friday’s incident was still ongoing. It was not clear at first why the statue, which weighs about 200 kilograms, fell.
According to the findings, the girl was in the inner courtyard of the Munich hotel when several people were alerted to the situation by screaming, police said. Then people managed to pull the seriously injured girl out from under the statue.
While being resuscitated, the girl was taken to a hospital, where she later died, according to officials. The girl was on vacation in southern Germany with her Italian parents.
