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.
