A mum whose toddler died in a blind cord accident has shared her agony, admitting the loss has made her life “empty”.
Natasha Ogden was having a normal day at home with her little boy Kane Davidson when tragedy struck on January 28.
The 22-month-old tot had been playing with his three-year-old brother while his mum Natasha had popped to the bathroom.
When she returned to the living room Kane had disappeared but the 23-year-old mother walked around her home, innocently believing her ‘cheeky’ son was playing hide and seek.
Natasha spotted Kane’s reflection in her bedroom window only to realise her baby had tragically entangled himself in a blind cord.
Natasha’s harrowing screams were heard by a neighbour, in Greenacres, who helped perform CPR while waiting for paramedics to arrive at the Oldham home.
By the time little Kane was transferred to Manchester Children’s Hospital, it was already too late.
The tot had suffered brain trauma and was put into a coma, according to Manchester Evening News.
His injuries were so severe he had little chance of surviving and there was nothing more doctors could do.
Natasha and Kane’s father, Callum Davidson, made the agonising decision to switch off his life-support machine on February 1.
Natasha, who turned 23 the day after the tragedy, has vowed to never celebrate her birthday again.
“I don’t remember anything,” she told the Manchester Evening News.
“I was just numb. I still am.
“I just screamed; I felt sick. It’s torn me apart.
“The doctors said they would take him off all the sedation and see what he could do on his own.
“But he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t open his eyes or move.
“The MRI showed he was nearly brain dead. He didn’t have a chance.”
