Norwegian shipping tycoon Morten Hoegh's two-year-old daughter Alexandra Lucy was found suspended from a blind cord in her cot, in the Hoeghs £12million (€15 / $19,5 million) mansion in Notting Hill, west London.

The baby's mother, Dana, discovered the child, at around 2.30pm on Monday, the Independent reports.

“Please help, the baby's not breathing,” she screamed as she ran out of the house.

The child was rushed to the nearest hospital, but, despite paramedics' best efforts, died less than an hour later.

“An ambulance arrived and paramedics rushed in. The woman was in a total state, sobbing and wailing,” one neighbor stated.

Scotland Yard are ruling this a non-suspicious death, and believe the child went into cardiac arrest, strangled by the rope. A post-mortem examination is on its way, to determine the exact cause of death.

'Awareness of Blind Cord Safety' is key, and education to the masses is critical. I think we need to create a global effort, (not just Britain or Canada, or US or Australia) but a "Universal Message", where the mission will be to make parents and window covering professionals aware that blind cords is one of the top “hidden hazards” in the home because of the strangulation danger.Together as one, we can spread this message so that someday, the danger of window blind cords will be as well known as bathtub and swimming pool dangers.
