Investigation Continues Into Death of Girl Strangled By Blind Cord: BSO

Authorities are still investigating the death of a 2-year-old girl who was strangled by a window blind cord at her Oakland Park Home.

Broward Sheriff's Office officials say the girl, Mary Molina, died Wednesday after she became entangled in the cord at the home in the 4500 block of Northeast 15th Way.

Molina had been put down for a nap by her mother, Jenna Holland, who went to another part of the home with her other child, officials said.

When Holland returned to check on Molina, she found her nonresponsive and tried to give CPR, officials said. Deputies arrived and were unable to revive the child.

Oakland Park Fire Rescue rushed Molina to Holy Cross Hospital where she later died. Molina's father, Rena Molina, wasn't home at the time of the incident but arrived shortly after first responders.

The death investigation is ongoing.
