A 4-year-old boy was killed after a television set tumbled onto him as he climbed up a dresser.

Yonkers police say Timothy DiTomaso was in his bedroom at his Hoover Street home when the TV fell on him Tuesday afternoon. Police say a neighbor, Alma Webster, called 911 at the father's request.

"I said, 'Oh my God, what happened?? ? says Webster. ?I didn't know what to do."

Webster says the family hadn?t lived in the building long. The boy died after being rushed to St. John's Riverside Hospital.

Yonkers Police Capt. William Cave says detectives are still investigating the apparent accident.

HVFORECAST

Santa is very busy these days. We know the clock is ticking until his big day of Christmas. Matt. Yes. And the clock is ticking too for my shopping to start as we get into say, maybe December 20th or so, maybe that will be a good time to start doing it. I want to focus on some serious things though, first and foremost, here today, chilly, a few flurries. But let's head to the map right now and talk about what we might be looking at for later in the day on Sunday. Now, the timing with this will change over the next couple of days, but we're still watching the chance for some moderate to heavy rain for at least a couple of hours and temperatures surging up to near 60 degrees later Sunday evening and Sunday night, potentially ending very early on Monday and there will be some wind with that as well. Again, that's late Sunday, potentially into early on Monday. So something to keep in the back of our minds for right now as we plan ahead, future cast as we go throughout the rest of today, a couple of flurries around through about five o'clock, we've had some flurries around, even a few rain sprinkles at times, go back to around freezing or below this evening and overnight and we actually get a little bit of some partial clearing for a few hours during the overnight that will allow temperatures to drop into the twenties. More clouds move in mid-morning tomorrow and by mid to late morning and through the early part of the afternoon tomorrow, we will have another chance for a few scattered light snow showers and flurries again. Nothing that's amounting to anything on the ground though. So dress warmly. The rest of today, it's chilly outside right now. Temperatures around 40 at best scattered flurries through the afternoon and ending early this evening. Then some partial clearing overnight tonight, a cold night, a night to maybe even add the extra layer into early on Thursday. So tomorrow we do this all over again where we have a couple of scattered flurries midday, mostly cloudy, chilly near 40 upper forties, Friday pick of the week. Still Saturday with a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday will start off fine, but it's turning more windy temperatures near 60 late in the day with rain Sunday night next week shaping up to be mostly dry with highs in the forties.
