May 31, 2007, 9:36PM Arkansas toddler dies in dishwasher, investigators say Associated Press ROMANCE, Ark.— An 18-month-old boy died inside a dishwasher that began running automatically when its door closed, the sheriff's office said today.
Authorities still are investigating but said the boy's death Wednesday afternoon appeared to be accidental. No signs of prior injury were found, and the cause of death likely was heat exposure, investigators said.
His 13-year-old brother found the boy inside the appliance, and he died before paramedics arrived.
"The baby's blanket was lying in front of the dishwasher, so (the brother) opened it," said Chief Deputy Jeremy Clark of the White County Sheriff's Office.
