After I saw this I went around my home making sure that we didn't have any blinds with cords my child could get around her neck. Well Just about everyone was low enough that she could get them around her neck so I'm now cutting the cords to get them out of her reach. If any of you have small kids you may want to do the same. Its just a sad story.

In this case my prayers go out for his child, he and his family

Nice dude. Im happy the story at least has some positive things coming from it.

Ive seen stories before of kids dying because of something tragic. Like in this case with a cord or in others involving drowning, etc. Parents try to watch out for their kids but all it takes is a couple seconds and something really tragic can happen.
Hell when I was 5 I was playing at a McDonalds outside playground. My Mom and Grandmother looked away for one minute because of my brother and I ran off. I went over to one of the kid areas and stepped up on the seat of this kiddie ride. When I got off I slipped off the step and fell. The McD's had taken out a playground object next to it and there was a big nail still there from where the toy was. I hit my head on it and was bleeding bad and need several stitches. If I fell a couple inches in different directions I would of either lost my eye or maybe died from the impact.

Sad... I just watched his documentary and it seems he was finally ridding himself of all his demons and settling down as a family man.
