Inquest jury returns verdict of accidental death in case of Leah Troy (1) from Cork

Ms O’Sullivan told Cork City Coroner’s Court that she was at home with Leah and her brother Alex on the day and that the siblings had been playing together before she brought the infant upstairs to nap at 11.45am.

Ms O’Sullivan said the blinds were received as a gift from her stepmother, Jude O’Sullivan, who had made them. The family was conscious of the risk posed by the pull cords and set them up in such a way as not to pose a risk to the children. She pulled the string from both ends to free Leah and then phoned 999 before bringing the child downstairs and trying to give her CPR with instructions from the emergency services. Paramedics arrived and took Ms O’Sullivan and Leah to Cork University Hospital, where they were joined by Mr Troy. However, Leah was pronounced dead at 2pm.
