Toddler death ‘accidental’
The child’s father, Michael Wayne Kurck, 37, called 911 at about 1:10 p.m. from the family’s home on Snowbird Lane near Romance.
The child was unaccounted for about 15 minutes, investigator Mark Jones said, before his 13-year-old brother, who had been playing video games, noticed he had left the room.
The father, who is unemployed, was asleep at the time of the accident, and the mother, Shelly Kurck, was at work. A three-year-old was also in the home at the time.
Nothing was in the Maytag dishwasher except the child’s body.
“What we have found so far is that we suggest this is a tragic accident,” Jeremy Clark, chief deputy for the WCSD, said. “However, the case is still open and we’re still investigating.”
Detectives have not ruled out foul play, and the investigation is normal for any unattended death.
I wonder if the 3 year old had anything to do with it... some of the posts above talk about youngsters being able to turn on dishwashers.
Now that I know there was a 3 year old around, I'm leaning more toward this scenario than the 13 year old.
