Italian girl, 7, crushed by marble statue while playing in Munich hotel courtyard

A 7-year-old Italian girl was crushed to death by a 440-pound marble statue while playing in a hotel courtyard in Munich last week. 

Lavinia Trematerra, from Naples, was on holiday with her parents when the accident occurred Friday evening. 

According to local reports, Trematerra was playing with an 8-year-old boy when the unfixed statue toppled on top of her. 

Bystanders – including her father, Michele Trematerra – rushed to her aid and lifted the statue off of her, according to Italian media.

Paramedics arrived on the scene and attempted to resuscitate her before taking her to the hospital where she died a couple of hours later. 

"You are and will always be our angel. Rest in peace, love of our lives," wrote her lawyer mother, Valentina Poggi on social media, just hours after her daughter’s death. 

The girl’s father, also a lawyer, wrote: "Our life has changed forever." 

Munich police have opened an investigation, including claims that the girl was possibly climbing the statue before it fell on her.

Chinese state media personality suggests shooting down Pelosi's plane in Taiwan

The former chief editor of the Chinese Communist Party's state tabloid, the Global Times, suggested the country shoot down U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for visiting Taiwan if her plane refuses to divert course. China's government has warned it will take "forceful measures" if Pelosi visits Taiwan after the Financial Times reported she would travel to the Chinese-claimed island nation next month.  Hu Xijin, former chief editor of the Global Times, called Pelosi's planned visit an "invasion," and suggested shooting down the speaker's plane if U.S. fighter jets escort it to Taiwan. "If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion," Xijin wrote.
