The death of a 4-year-old Bronx girl<\/a> appears to have been a tragic accident, the child hitting her head when she slipped while taking a shower, police sources said Monday.<\/p>\n

Ashley Anderson-Collado, who a week earlier celebrated her birthday, was found unconscious by her mother inside the family\u2019s apartment on Barnes Ave. near Adee Ave. in Williamsbridge about 9:15 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

After the mom called 911, medics rushed to the scene and performed CPR on the girl, then took her to Jacobi Medical Center<\/a>, where she underwent surgery but could not be saved.<\/p>\n

The city Medical Examiner has not yet been determined her cause of death. But sources said cops do not suspect foul play and believe she died from head injuries suffered when she fell.<\/p>\n

Neighbors saw little Ashley\u2019s dad burst out in tears after learning of his daughter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe father was pacing back and forth and he broke down,\u201d one neighbor, who only wished to be identified as Najee, told the Daily News a day after the incident. \u201cI asked him if everything was all right.\u201d<\/p>\n

A short time later, the father knocked on Najee\u2019s door, telling her that his daughter was dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just like, \u2018Dang,’\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m just sad to hear it was a young girl and during the holidays. It\u2019s sad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The death of a 4-year-old Bronx girl appears to have been a tragic accident, the child hitting her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,265,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-83826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
