A nine-month-old baby girl died after falling from a bed in an apartment in Tuen Mun, the New Territories on Wednesday evening.
Police were summoned by a 31-year-old man surnamed Liu after his daughter fell from a double bed in an apartment of Leung Shui House in Leung King Estate, Apple Daily reported.
When his domestic worker found the baby lying unconscious on the floor near the bed in an unconscious state, she immediately informed her employer.
Paramedics arrived and attempted to resuscitate the child, but after being rushed to Tuen Mun Hospital she was pronounced dead.
It was understood that the domestic worker put the baby on the double bed for a sleep at 7pm. She later went to the room and found the girl was on the floor, Oriental Daily reported.
According to a neighbour surnamed Choi, the domestic worker had told her before that the baby would cry whenever she was placed in her own cot.
Police investigating the case concluded that there were no suspicious circumstances, pending the results of an autopsy to confirm cause of death.
The Department of Health advises parents and carers not to leave a baby of any age unsupervised on a diaper changing mat, table, adult bed or sofa. If adults are not free to look after them, babies should only be left in a secure cot or playpen.
The health department also advises that babies should be placed on their backs to sleep. Studies have shown that sleeping on their back is six times safer than sleeping lying on their front, and twice as safe as sleeping lying on their side.
They also recommend against allowing a small child to share a bed with an adult due to the danger of suffocation.

Why is it that news in HK are not detailed leaving the readers many speculations? They won’t always say what causes such tragedy. They won’t always tell the whole story. In short they leave us puzzled and confused.
Negligence po ang tawag jan hindi accident. Bago iniwan ang baby dapat sinecure ni yaya sa safe place, pinatulog sna muna nya either sa kalong or both on the bed then pag mahimbing na saka ililipat sa cot, then work Bilisan lng ang kilos bago magising si baby. That is what its called RESPONSIBLE AND MATURED HELPER.
Sherry Suliva Taban bagong sunog(new burn).????
anong lahi kaya yung domestic helper,Pilipina ba o indo,nakaktakot tlga pag ganun
Kawawa naman ang kapwa natin helper.Mabuti sana kung sabihin ng amo na hayaan na ang pagluluto ang mahalaga ang bata.Awa nang Dyos ganon mga amo ko kahit tulog pa alaga ko o gising dapat andon lng ako sa tabi nya.Pro kung bagugutom ako o kailangan punta cr.memesaage ko sila para sila muna mag bantay gamit ang cctv na naka connect sa kanilang mga cp.Kung maghapon naman na kaming dalawa ng alaga ko sinasavihan akong wag ng magluto bibili na lng daw sila ung luto na.Sana maraming mga amo na makakaisip nito ung priority ang bata di ung pagluluto o paglilinis.
It’s maids negligence, we must have common sense that we mustn’t leave a baby sleeping on a double deck and besides as DH we must learn the safety of our wards.it is our responsibility to look after our wards ,even though we won’t finish our chores but we must see to it that the safety of our wards will come first. The employers employ us to look after their kids bit its too hurt that we will neglect our responsibilities. So this is a lesson for all DH that safety of our wards must come first.
And to the admin or to the reporter why you didn’t mention if what nationality the maid belongs to its too unfair for us Filipinos that you mention us in your reports but to this matter you hide the nationality of the maid .just saying.
Ang trabaho magagawa natin yan oras na sure mo na tulog na talaga ang alaga natin.Rip baby
Alamin mo muna kung ano ba talaga ang ng yari bago ka mgsalita ng d maganda
