Door Kills Girl; Department of Licenses and Inspections Finds No Violations

Door kills girl story has been the talk of the town since it happened on Saturday. The victim, Wynter Larkin, was spending time with her mother at Rita's Water Ice Store in the northern part of Philadelphia. There was an ongoing fundraiser for a fraternity and sorority that very day.

Local authorities were investigating on how a door kills girl, such as what happened to Larkin. It was a metal security gate that suddenly detached and dropped from the façade of the ice shop. This killed the 3-year-old girl right in front of other people who were there for the fundraiser. Everyone tried to rescue her, but Larkin was killed immediately.

Members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity were right there at the area of the accident and were first-hand witnesses to how the door kills girl, and they immediately rushed to help the girl out from under the heavy metal grate. Witnesses even said that they gave her CPR, but they eventually had to take her to the Hahnemann University Hospital. She was pronounced dead when she arrived.

Tracey Stanford informed KYW-TV, "It took about 20 to 30 men to get that awning off of the baby. When they finally got it off of her, she was just lying there, lifeless."

The Commissioner of the Department of Licenses and Inspections, Carlton Williams, stated in a statement that, upon investigation on how the door kills girl, there were no open violations at the store. In addition to that, there have also been no reported problems with the security gate of the ice shop.

Williams stated, "The Department of Licenses and Inspections will only inspect these gates upon report of a complaint of an apparent defect." He noted that the owners of the property in question are responsible for making sure that their building structures are appropriately maintained and inspected for public safety. Sadly, since no one has reported a problem with the metal gate, particularly because it has not hurt anyone before except when the door kills girl in this recent incident, they did not find any violation whatsoever.
