Authorities say a 4-year-old girl died after she climbed into a washing machine and her little brother switched it on.

Orange County sheriff's officials say Kayley Ishii apparently climbed into the front-loading washer Monday and her 15-month-old brother managed to start the device.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the machine's controls were 20 inches from the floor and the start switch was a simple push button.

The girl was in the water-filled, tumbling machine for at least two minutes before her mother found her. Her death was ruled accidental.

Investigators say the mother could not explain why Kayley climbed inside the machine.

Says Amormino: ''They don't know if they were playing or what.''

I can't see how this would be funny at all, washing machines are often depicted as silly when you are stuck inside, them turning around, and then you are just dizzy when you get out, surely in the mind of a 4 year old a washing machine isn't dangerous at all, tragic accident

just thinking bout that... he won't remember it. They'd have to tell him a different story though, and get everyone to play along. I'd try to make sure he didn't find though either way.

Probably drowned. Water fills up quickly in washing machines.

Just wait, new washers will have 4 buttons to start it now, including a two-key simultaneous start mechanism so that little kids can't turn it on.

yeah they should have something like where you need the parents fingerprint in order to start it that would be cool

Almost sounds like the news is wording it to try and blame the parents there, but can't be, news agencies wouldn't do that.

A simple push button? You mean like a button every device starts with? uh

Well i know mine has a dial that you have to push in pretty hard and then spin it while pushed in order to start. Plus its on top of the machine, so like 2-3 feet up. I don't think a little kid would be able to push that in
I think they were trying to blame the machine's design

yeah either the fingerprint ID or the something where you have to use two factors authentication for example a pin number and then use an ID card

Well what possible benefit is there to having the control panel 20 inches off the ground? That inconveniences all but midgets.

I actually drove by those apartments on Monday and saw all the personell but had no idea what was going on.
