San Diego police are investigating what appeared to be “suspicious” deaths but said it is too early to determine whether the incident was accidental or intentional

“A man who did not wish to be identified said his wife witnessed the fall. She told him that it appeared a toddler fell from an area with picnic tables, and the woman also fell while trying to grab the child.”
Yet “suspicious” is termed in the introduction to the article.
Terribly sad. I hope it was accidental and not a double murder.
Staying tuned for further developments.
Suspicious is when a toddler falls from such a high level in a public stadium.
This may sound insensitive but why would they build picnic tables in an area where a fall from such an area could cause a fatality? It would seem there are not adequate barriers or restraints in place. It would seem a wrongful death lawsuit by next of kin would be in order.
About a decade ago, Texas Ranger outfielder Josh Hamilton casually flipped a practice ball into the outfield stands. Only he didn’t put enough on it, causing a man in the front row to lean out into the space in front of the stands, topple over the three-foot rail and fall to his death. You can imagine the lawsuits that followed.
I would presume that an area with “picnic tables” would also be an area that attracts children. If every sensible means of preventing children from falling wasn’t built or installed, I would think liability damages are in order.
