SALEM, Ohio - A Salem police detective says that 22-month-old Braydon Eichler died early Sunday at his home on West Pershing Street.

Authorities say an oven fell on the child after he opened the door of the appliance and climbed on top of the door.

"'it's just tragic my heart goes out to the family we believe the child somehow got into oven oven tilted and trapped the child," said Detective Dave Talbert from the Salem Police Department.

The child's mother had been sleeping in another room while Braydon and his three-year-old brother were playing in the kitchen.
