Girl Dies Falling From Chair With Scissors

VERONA BEACH, N.Y. -- Police in Verona Beach, N.Y., say a six-year-old died while reaching for scissors on top of a refrigerator when she fell from a chair and the blades stabbed her in the neck.
The girl apparently wanted the scissors to cut off gum that was stuck in her hair.
Police said she was standing on a wheeled, office-style chair when it moved and she lost her balance Friday night. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The girl's parents and her younger brother were in the house about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse, but no one saw the girl fall.
