Toddler roasts to death in oven after game with sibling ends tragically

19-month-old J'zyra Thompson was burned to death in an oven

19-month-old J'zyra Thompson was found by the cooker and police after she had been burned to death in an oven when a game with three older siblings aged three to five ended in tragedy after they were left home alone. Apparently, her pregnant mother left her with her siblings to go to work on Monday night.
Officers in Houston, US, said it is thought the children started playing with the cooker at about midnight and shortly afterwards the police were called. They added it was unclear whether the little girl had been in the oven or on the hob. It is claimed the woman initially left the children in the care of her boyfriend but that were alone when the accident happened.
The mother and her boyfriend were questioned yesterday and the children have been taken into protective custody.
