Horrible :(


LOS ANGELES -- A toddler has died after falling 50 feet from a luxury suite at the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Golden State Warriors in the Staples Center arena.

The 2-year-old had crawled away from his parents' sight and they were looking for him when they found out he had fallen, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday.

Police Sgt. Frank Alvelais said early Monday that the boy was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where he died.

The boy fell from the third level top tier of the luxury suites several minutes after the Lakers beat the Warriors 117-89 on Sunday night.

Witnesses told the Times the boy was moving his arms, legs and head before paramedics took him out of arena on a stretcher.

The incident is being investigated by the LAPD abused-child unit, the newspaper reported.

KTLA-TV reported that the child was taking pictures when he fell but later said that they couldn't confirm that information.

Baby-sitter? Maybe the parents should have never let him get out of sight at an NBA game...
