Durban - A one-year-old baby died on New Year's Day when he fell from the seventh floor of a building in Durban's Gillespie Street, police said on Friday.
Captain Thembeka Luthuli said the baby boy was playing in a room at the family's Wavecrest flat when the mother heard silence.
"She went to check on the boy in the next room and saw the window opened. When she looked out, she saw her baby lying on the pavement."
Paramedics said the child died of severe head injuries sustained in the fall.

Shopaholic Dies At Home In Clothing Avalanche.

Police Need 2 Days To Find Her Body

Plenty of material evidence
Joan Cunnane's garage, like the rest of her house, was filled with purchases, except for the 2-foot-wide walking path."You gotta have a place for your stuff. That's all your house is; a place to keep your stuff .. A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it ... When you leave your house, you gottta lock it up. Wouldn't want somebody to come by and take some of your stuff, 'Cause they always take the good stuff!' They don't bother with that crap you're saving..." -- George CarlinUK shopaholic spinster, Joan Cunnane, 77, of Heaton Mersey, who had been buying as much stuff as she could for the past 16 years, and stacking it wherever she could stuff it, and who obviously did not understand the gravity of her behavior, died when she was buried under a clothing avalanche.How much stuff did she have? It took police 2 days to locate her body within her home. It was too perilous to use dogs to help locate her.See related story of the loner who died after getting lost in his house trying to find his way through his garbage pile.
